Day 26, July 18

As part of our house exchange, we also swapped cars.  Our new car we affectionately call the Yellow Submarine.  It is a bright yellow Renault camper van.  It has no power steering or power brakes and has a manual ignition.  This morning we came out in a hurry to get to camp and discovered the battery was dead due to leaving the lights on.  We spent the next 2 hours trying to explain to a local car mechanic that we did not want a new battery, just a jump.  I-translate on my I-pad was very helpful, much to Jacqueline's embarrassment. I am missing my fully loaded mini van.
