¡Exito! Success!


Tuesday was a struggle but things went well, at least for now. The authorities have accepted my photo for my Brazil visa so I hope to get that emailed to me within a week. 

That means I won’t need to go through that hassle for another ten years, I hope. 

It took all day but GANNET2 is now E85 capable which means we can buy fuel in Brazil. Tonight I am dirty tired and hungry as I forgot to eat all day but layne made pasta so we are getting back on an even keel. 

Freddy the electrician in the middle being watched by Chato on the left and Renzo on the right. Installing an ethanol sensor and extra fuel injector sensors. 

I hope it holds together but so far so good.

Thursday we hope to be driving to Chile as we have one more job to do while it’s still raining on the Amazon basin. 

And if you were wondering the miners’ strike is over, traffic is flowing normally and it’s now like nothing ever happened. The short version is the government gave in and started talks promising to legalize the “informal mines” in the country. Peru the surprising. We now have bans as, and strawberries and delicious plump figs.
