We got an early start this morning after sleeping in the car on the road. Thankfully it was cold! We awoke at about 4:00 a.m. And pulled long sleeved shirts and longjohns out of our bags and snuggled back down cozy warm. <\/p>\n

We had hoped to make it to Semey tonight and the Russian border tomorrow. If we had, we would have a slight chance of making the last finish line party on August 24th. Instead we are sitting in a Mercedes dealership. We pulled over a couple of hours ago to review our map and the car would not restart. A couple of guys gave us a jump (didn’t work) and then a push start (worked) so we pulled in here. <\/p>\n

Jim is freaking because we are in a dealership: they charge full price and won’t let him into the garage to troubleshoot. I am delighted because they have wifi, beverages and air conditioning. I am going to try to convince Jim to buy a Mercedes ( I am sure they would love to get the Panda in trade) and we will drive it to Mongolia and ship it home. I know, not likely but a girl can hope \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Here are some pics. Last night’s camping spot. Lake Balkhash party boat. Etc. xoxoxoxo cannot wait to get home!<\/p>\n
