My sisters arrived safely yesterday, only a tiny bit late. So who's ever heard of a container and box embargo? Apparently there's an embargo on any kind of box or container during the Christmas season. In the Detriot airport my sisters discovered that they couldn't take the two containers that I had so carefully packed and left behind for them to bring. Thankfully one of the AA employees was kind enough to explain that they could buy two large duffle bags instead and transfer all my stuff into them. So somewhere in the detriot airport are two brand new containers that I was looking forward to using for storage.
Last night my sisters settled in and we caught up on a few things. This morning I woke them up bright and early and we headed off to school. Of course I put them right to work. Gwen helped sort all our newly donated school supplies and Amy typed up some work for me. After school we were all ready to head up to the Baptist Mission for some lunch and then to Fort Jacques to check out the view. Unfortunately just outside of Petionville my car decided to give us some problems. I pressed on the gas but it wouldn't go any faster than 20 km/h. This road is twisty and turny and a bit scary on the best of days as trucks go flying by and although the car was still moving I didn't relish the idea of blocking traffic for miles seeing as it's almost impossible to pass on this road. So unfortunately we had to turn back. We had lunch at Epidor instead and spent some time relaxing at home.
