update

It looks like Scott is uploading the pictures that Mike has put together (it´s amazing what you can do with photoshop these days!). As the pictures show, we´re having a great time. As an update, we´ve made it to San Sebastian, just inside Spain for the evening.
We had our first break down today!! Leak in the fuel line from the fuel intake to the gas tank. Diesel all over the place when we tried to fill the tank. Easily fixed by a very gracious and helpful mechanic that, by complete serendipity, happened to be across the street from the hotel where we stayed for the night. We also realized that one of the rear tires was flat during dinner and decided to wait until the morning to fix it.
We found a tire shop that dealt with large sized tires. Unfortunately, the American tire sizes are different than European ones (like that´s a surprise), so they don´t have any tires for us. We unloaded all the spares that we are carrying with us, and only one tire was decent enough to use as a replacement. One of the tires was already destroyed, and the other is being saved as a last minute back up.
We were back on the road by noon, and smooth sailing since then.
San Sebastian is a beautiful city. The people here have so far been much more enthusiastic and expressive when seeing the bus than the French were. We´re getting a lot of horn blowing, hand waving, and picture taking. What fun.
More news later. So far, so good.
