Well its been a long road to get to Ecuador, It seems that Peru was much larger than we planned for. Here are a few pictures, some that even Niki took.
This is the Inca King in Cuzco, a picture we took on the way out we thought! it took us an hour because of some protests.
The next day we got to another city and the mountains looked like this.
this is a picture of the fields...
We made it to Nazca; the place of the lines in the dessert, this is two hands...
This is a tree, the roots are gathered towards the top the branches towards the top, sorry the observatory tower was put there, upside down
We found, or rather it found us, I like the other's bumber and snorkel, but overall I ours looks better.
This is the patch...maybe this shouldn't be published...
But there is a bit of good news... The Land Rover is driving much smoother now. The culprit: the front driveshaft was not properly maintained and the universal joints had deteriorated beyond service. The bad news is that it came apart on a mountain road and beat up the transmission fluid pan. Fortunately we were going downhill, and not very fast. so we lurched to a stop and I removed the front drive shaft and we coasted to the next town. for some strange reason Land Rover's (or at least ours) won't move in high gear without the front drive shaft so I have had to engage 4 wheel drive to move. As stated though the vehicle is much smoother now! A local mechanic patched the slight leak and sent us on our way. Now we are in Ecuador!
well I guess it is good you are selling the car.. hopefully you will be able to sell it.
ReplyDeleteThe first car dad and I owned was given to us by a pair of returned missionaries traveling through Ohio and all of the Usa on their way home to Norway. Hopefully you can sell your car. If not look for someone to bless. Those missionaries never met us. They just left it at the institute building to have the church give to someone. and as newly weds and recent converts with no car dad and I qualified as most poor and needy. It lasted two and a half years until Brittany was six months old. Then kelvin's parents gave us their very old station wagon.
