proud new owner...

Hello Dear Ones!
 
How is every one doing?  Things here are going well.  I have enjoyed my week off from work and will be driving back up to Rundu tomorrow in my new car!!  Ok, it's not a car, it's actually a small SUV, but it's easier to say car!  I am now the proud owner of a 1998 Toyota Rav4!  They call it 5 door though it is really 4 with the back that opens up..  Though I debated for a long time, I think I have decided that the color is pastel aqua.  It is an automatic, which is actually very strange for these parts, almost all vehicles here are stick shifts...  But beggars can't be choosers!  It definitely wasn't easy trying to find a car here.  Though 2 of the days I did have friends with cars help me, I literally spent hours walking around the streets of Windhoek looking for used car places.  Eventually it was the friend of one of the dealers that I ended up buying from, but the dealer offered to do all the transactions including doing all the paperwork!  So all I had to do was send an email to AIM to transfer the money, show up, sign a few papers and drive off!  :-)  The most enjoyable car shopping I have ever done!  ha ha!!  I didn't bring my camera to Windhoek with me, so soon after I get back up in Rundu I will let you all see what it looks like!  Thanks to those of you who helped contribute to my lovely new car!!!
 
love ya!
