It\’s Been a Quiet Week

The bedlum seems to have died down, thank goodness, so there isn\’t much to report.

More ups and downs

To follow up from the last post, the following morning we called on Ruben and true to his word, he had welded up all the bits for us, it wasn\’t free, but it was as cheap as chips, so no complaints. From there we went on to San Juan, the idea being to get anotherContinue reading “More ups and downs”
