On to Mendoza!(Izzy)

Hey people!
We are here in Mendoza! For the moment we are renting an apartment and searching very hard for a place to live. Tomorrow we are going to see a house that is a possibility. Because we are staying for a reasonably short time, we have decided to rent instead of buy a house. The only large purchase we have made is the car. It is too hard and long a process to sell these things, so renting makes more sense.
I will update you on our progress as we search!

New car issues (izzy)

Hello, hello, hello!
If you don't know already, we have bought a car and all the necessary emergency stuff, like a little fire extinguisher and an emergency triangle. It has manually locking doors and you have to turn a handle to open the windows, plus it's a stick-shift, but nonetheless it runs and the air conditioning works (yay!!!!)
We left it sitting on the opposite side of the street (locked) with all the other cars, it blended in, it was a neutral color, etc. How do you think we felt when we woke up only to discover that someone had smashed the lock and stolen a tire? Of course, everyone said, "Well, no wonder it got broken into. You left it out." Yeah, and so did at least ten other people on the block!
It's fixed, we bought a storage thingy for the top to hold some larger luggage (the car turned out to be a little smaller than we thought. Everything is set.
And then we figure out that all the luggage doesn't fit. Yahoo. So we rearrange the bags, scoot everyone a little closer to each other (not so fun) and eliminate a suitcase. Woo, time to go! Nope, it's too late in the day, we have to wait until tomorrow. That is going to turn out a little harder, because we just packed the car.
Deep breath.
It will all work out in the end, but I am really hoping that this is the last thing that goes wrong. Maybe this little car is cursed. Well, too bad, we already bought it. We have to live with what we've got.
Grr.
Ah, well. At least we have a car.
Moving tomorrow, and I don't know that next time I will get to blog, so bye-bye to everyone until the next time!
Love,
Izzy
