Three days, one tiring walk to the mechanic where I had to walk Pepe about two miles to the garage and 40 shekels ($10) later, Pepe has been resurrected to his normal smoke-sputtering self. The problem was one starter plug which the mechanic found, fixed and replaced in about seven minutes. It was such a relief to have it be something so simple and I felt so liberated once again having transportation.
The intervening days I'd been forced to take public transportation. The truth is I don't mind public transit at all, and I'm very glad its there. Its just that there are certain times I really need a vehicle, such as for surfing.
So, I celebrated this miraculous resurrection and return to freedom of mobility by getting into my wetsuit as if I were Clark Kent getting into a phone booth and heading to the ocean to surf into the sunset. Literally. I actually surfed well past the sunset and into the dark. It was really exciting. On a side note, I'm loving surfing these days and totally hooked. I recently progressed to a whole new level and its making every session so enjoyable.
