One down, one to go

 See my husband... proud new owner of his very own motorbike.  He went out early this Saturday morning, and returned a couple hours later with this!  He chose the all black... what do you think?

If we were locals, this is how Beni would also ride the motorbike.  As it is, of course she will NEVER ride the motorbike. ;)

 So Joel has his own wheels now... he was able to return my SIL's motorbike to her.  Now whatever wear and tear or anything that happens to the bike, at least it's happening to his own bike.  He quite likes zooming around on the motorbike- except when it's raining.  He wears a poncho then, but even with the poncho, he still gets pretty soaking wet.
 

Our car search continues, so Beni and I are still stuck either walking or getting a ride with my SIL or BIL.  They are awesome and lifesavers for us right now!  So far in our car search we found the PERFECT vehicle, which was at least $5,000 over budget.  Then we found another vehicle that we thought could be really good, and by the time we called about it (which was as soon as we saw the ad) it was already sold...which means...it would have been good! :(  We've also see tons more manuals, and a few more that we've passed on because they are obvious conversions.  So the search continues.  Please keep sending us good car thoughts or money.  Both would be useful. :)
