Golf cart

the trials of owning  golf cart...
would swear we had the slowest one on the island....got used to that;  even Denito commented on it in his guest post.  It was so embarrassing...
and multiple times into the mechanic for this and that... maybe even 5 times in my few weeks here.
My son struggled with it his whole time here...we just learned to go in the 'slow lane'...
it's an island...learn patience....learn to slow down...              those are good lessons to learn & practice. 

But dying just once too often, at night,  & requiring a taxi home, last minute. .. that's no fun either....
so, finally, happy to say...our mechanic (maybe because he had to drive it home in its latest slow state) has supplied us with a fix that is a joy.  We are flying down the road.... It is a thrill.   Gracias Lenin!!!

I actually passed another golf cart today.
Unluckily, my guests have gone and were not able to take part in this marvelous & unbelievable transformation.  But, their daughter, here just one day longer, is able to testify that it is true...
The golf cart starts consistently, runs very reliably and even with some pep, and stops when turned off.
Small but significant changes like this makes one so grateful...makes life so enjoyable....

Driving around in a golf cart, especially on a semi-tropical island--peculiar perhaps, but such a treat--
especially when everything is working.  Maybe this won't last.  But I will enjoy while it does. 

 And, little kids remember rides in golf carts.
Golf carts, views &  sea air....it's kind of  magical... especially, for little kids, but for big kids too!
definitely memorable.
