Our poor little Azulita has had a lot of issues from the potholes and speed bumps and curbs in our neighborhood – and today from the skies.
Many stories. Funny, irritating stories. First the keys lost in the ocean which led to a tow truck to the dealership which led to the smashed windshield which led to many weeks of Mananas.
There was the especially giant speed bump hidden in the shadows in San Vicente one night which led to the broken radiator which led to the broken air conditioner which led to many more weeks of Mananas.
A few weeks ago there was the curb that jumped out of nowhere which broke the radiator again and the air conditioner lines again which led to the welder guy which led to the backwards welding which led back to the welder guy which eventually fixed the problem.
And then today. We were driving home from the Immigration office celebrating the issuance of our new green residence cards. Heading to a celebration breakfast date. On the beautiful and smooth tree lined streets of Nuevo Vallarta. What could possibly go wrong here? And then the sky was falling Chicken Little. As Grant slowed for a speedbump, a coconut fell out of a tree, smashing our headlight and bouncing down the road spraying its refreshing water along the way. Sigh. Here we go again. On the up side, our windshield wasn’t smashed, our convertible roof was up, Azulita’s body wasn’t dented. Just a headlight. And probably many weeks of Mananas! The adventure continues.
