Summer Road Trip 2019 Day 17: a rest day

I took my first Uber today. Pops had found a dealer who could look at my car, so I dropped it off at 6:30, I got to use my new umbrella because it was raining, and a nice guy in a car came and took me to my car.

So today was a rest day while we waited for our gypsy caravan to be maintained, and why is that check engine light on?????

Free breakfast at the hotel, showers for everyone, walking to McDonald’s for lunch, buying trinkets at the dollar store so we have some entertainment today, and swimming. Wait, no swimming. Popi was very attentive, and he found us a hotel with a pool and laundry. But it is an empty pool, and the laundry isn’t guest laundry. Its hotel laundry. Oh well. It was a much-needed time of relaxing.

In the end, the check engine light had to do with that annoying, after-market, locking gas cap, so I told the mechanic that I would love him forever if he would get rid of it for me. He did, and the Gypsy caravan was ready. I scored a second Uber trip out of it, this time sharing the ride with a sullen business man who did not want to talk, and a driver who looked like a murderer. Maybe he is a hit man and Ubers as his side gig. Maybe Ubering is his cover. I wanted to ask him, but thought I’d better not get killed since the kids would wonder where I was and would have to endure The Magpie taking charge. She would get them back home safely, I have no doubts. But she would be annoyed that I didn’t consult her before going on a murder adventure.

We took no pictures today. So here is my favorite picture from our trip so far…
