Saturday, July 28 2012

We started out at “O’dark thirty”, as my father calls it, with plenty of time to get to my cousin’s house (she had agreed to drive us to the airport and store our car at her house for the next three weeks) and the trip went downhill from there with a flat tire and a torrential downpour complete with a dazzling lightening show that made it impossible to see where the road was! At one point we had to drive around a downed tree.
