Goodbye Tiger...tear....tear

We drove to Christchurch to celebrate Purim. When we got here we went to a grocery store. Tiger, our car was acting up so we decided to shop while he rested. When we came back, he wouldn't start. We tried to talk nice to him and give him some love, but nothing would work. We found a mechanic (he was sooooo nice and helpful....we LOVE New Zealanders!). It was confirmed that Tiger was dead. We ended up selling him for parts (the money we got is now our ice cream fund!). We rented a car for the next 20days. It's Purim so we can't be too sad. Everything worked out well in the end. I've learned that keeping a positive attitude can help make any situation better. I knew what needed to happen and made it work. Now we have a new car...the Den. We went to Chabad for Purim. Because of where we are, we were at the first megillah reading of the year. That was cool to learn. There were tons of Israelis there. Evertime we heard Hamen, the noise went on for like 20minutes. It was crazy! The second night of Purim we went back for dinner. We had a pretty joyous time. It was fun meeting and hanging out with people! Proof that a potentially rough situation can turn into joy and fun!
