30 Days of Thanksgiving: November 5--Our Van

Ruth always said that our Honda Odyssey in the States was her favorite earthly possession, and the first tears she shed as we said our many goodbyes were as our van pulled out of our driveway at 707 Union for the last time.  Imagine our surprise when we pull into a used car lot in Managua after hours of car shopping and see a 2003 Honda Odyssey that was in our price range.  We are so thankful to have a car that we know and love—the roads are crazy here, so it’s nice to have something familiar while driving.  We never knew that the Odyssey was capable of off-roading, but it’s proven to be very versatile many times! We are also thankful for our favorite car wash here that will thoroughly wash our van inside and out for just $4!
