I can't believe it. Today PapaGus called to tell me that our car was here. Huh? It's here? After being sans wheels for almost seven weeks, our car is here? After a brief mix up got resolved, PapaGus drove home in our new car which will go to the dealer next week to install everything. All knobs and lights haven't been put in yet, nor has the spare tire so they will do that at the dealership. Then there's the issue of our plates and our papers: insurance papers, registration papers, permit papers, etc. In Senegal we have a list of about seven documents that we need to keep with the car at all times so while the car's at the dealership we'll have time to get all these together.
When the car was successfully parked inside the garage Gusi just smiled at it. He was happier to see his dad home from work but he did dig the car. In just another week he'll be sitting in his car seat in his new car.
Now I can start to worry about driving around town in this crazy traffic. This is the finish line of the Dakar Rally after all!
