At The Shop

The Brazilians left yesterday morning and there I was thinking only Team Lost leaves first thing in the morning. Most people don’t bother and get on the road half way through the day. I took this picture at 6:45 after bloody Rusty decided he needed some very fresh air and they were about gone on their way to Lake Titicaca, starting their early day by backing into the street, brave souls. 

I really have tried to tamp down my stress but I think I burst the banks yesterday and started to come down with a cold. My favorite locally overflowing dumpster, and there are several in Arequipa:

I’ve started snuffling and taking Tylenol hoping I’ll be alert to take a test drive after the new transmission is installed. Meanwhile I walk Rusty in the morning and blow my nose as we go. 

The car dealership has a gardener it appears. I am proud of Perumotors and you should be too. Wait a minute I think that’s the church getting ready of a Sunday morning. 

Perumotors are down the street past the American laundry. 

There we are. I knew there was a car dealer down the street. Aside from Mitsubishi and some Chinese brand Perumotors sell trucks and they are priced in US dollars. 

You can’t just walk outside if you’re Rusty, you also need to check out the premises. 

If we can get going he may miss this place. I feel like we’re putting down roots but I think that’s an illusion. 

The Germans in the Russian UAZ van are still here. Can you believe this fine piece of machinery is newer than GANNET2 ?

I think someone wants something. 

Possibly he wants a nap.
