Long story short, something is wrong with our brakes, possibly related to gobs of grease on the driver's side strut. With plenty of food, a big comfortable house and a covered front porch featuring hers and hers hammocks, we could be stranded in worse situations. Carol spent 5 hours on the phone and we believe a tow truck is arriving at 7:30 am to haul the car to a nearby town. We are hoping to have it back and in working order in time to drive to a transmission doctor in Belo Horizonte on Wednesday. Until then, we are content to hang around the house, listen to the birds and contemplate the words of our friend Martha who said, "a road trip yes, but people, not if your car's not good."
