The truly awful, horrible day.

I didn’t post anything yesterday because it was a perfectly horrible, awful day. The van broke down on the motorway just south of Tarragona at 2:00 pm. Roadside assistance couldn’t get an appropriate tow truck to me until 10:00 pm. Because it was Friday night the van was towed to a secure parking area and the dogs and I were taken to a hotel in La Selva del Camp, Tarragona. The only garage that would take the van to work on won’t open until Monday, so here we sit. There are no pharmacies, shops , restaurants or cafes within walking distance. The insurance company would only pay for a single room the size of a prison cell, so I’m paying out of pocket to upgrade to a double room. The kitchen here serves breakfast, lunch and dinner for a total of about €40 a day out of my pocket. I’m praying that the garage will be able to repair the van on Monday so that we can be on our way.

I don’t think I’ll have much to add before Monday. Anyway, no one wants to read a bunch of griping and complaining, so I’m done until next week. Ciao
