New Clutch=Dollar Bills

We're stuck in Santiago--still! Turns out our new car had a very old clutch. It's currently being replaced and expect it back on Monday night. It's actually a miracle that we noticed that it was acting funny here, in a big city, rather than the middle of nowhere. In addition, we're extra lucky that we met a young guy sitting across from us at supper one night that worked with cars, had an American girlfriend and was very eager to help us with our car needs. We were able to take the car to his shop yesterday and are pretty confident we wont be overcharged. The downside is that we can't build the bed or drive...so we are hanging out and really hoping to leave Tuesday.
