So we have been told that the car key would arrive in "one hour" for the past 24 hours. Emily, Allen and I went to meet the bus at 10:30 last night to catch the "pacquette" but the bus was late. When it finally came, the conductor told Allen minyaña. (remember we have bad bus karma) We walked to the car to properly lock it up and then took a stroll down the main street of LaPedrera. It was fun to see all of the nightlife. Families were out eating, kids were playing, the street and restaurants were busy. We got home at midnight with not a key in hand.
Today is Thursday and Allen has walked to the bus office four times.the first time he came back home without a key, but we were all happy because he brought a fresh selection of pan (bread) for breakfast. After many calls to the car rental agent named Martin, (lucky Martin, he got the short straw because he spoke English) we received a second key to the car at 4:30 p.m. I am happy to say that the big white whale is parked in our driveway right now. The key is in the house.
Emily is sick today. She has a cold. I went to see the friendly town pharmacist and she is now all hopped up on Uruguayan drugs.
Mom and I are taking our last hours of sun because tonight we retire the swimsuits to our luggage. Tomorrow we will start the "tour of Uruguay" that Emily wanted instead of the beach. *see blog Tracie day 1
I bet she complains about the tour and no beach tomorrow...
We are all exhausted but we have to go out to dinner and pack the house up tonight. Next stop-Piriapolis!!!!!
