Good-Bye Car! Good-Bye May! Good-Bye Seniors!

This month has almost come to an end. And as promised, I am posting one more time.  This month has been extremely eventful.  What else has been happening?  Well... we have had to say good-bye to our car of 13 years.  While we were on the way to do some grocery shopping last Friday, the car "died".  Alan pushed it off to the side.  I was able to get free roadside service via our credit card and had the car towed to our mechanics.  The quick prognosis was that it would take another 1200US$ to get it fixed.  Alan at that point said, "NO, we are not putting any more money in this car."  And we sold it to one of the mechanics for 570US$ and he will fix it up for practically next to nothing and use it as his family's extra car.  I was very sad to say good-bye to our great car.  And we now are in the process of finding another car.  Alan has a WISH on his mind. But I don't want to spend the money. We would not buy a new car.  It would definitely be a second hand car.  But even a second car is quite expensive.  I think we will look after our return from the States.  For now, we are borrowing a car from a dear church friend.  Driving it feels weird.  I am still used to driving our wonderful Libero "station wagon".
Good-bye Car!
 



Alan also had his last class with his seniors.  He has taught many of them since their Freshmen year and they have also played on the departmental basketball teams.  So, even though they were seniors, they still decided to take his very difficult debate class.  This picture was taken at the last debate class.
