Today's edition of coming home has to deal with driving. The more
that I am researching cars online the more nervous I am getting about
having to drive once I get home. As in much of europe, the driver's
side is the right side of the car and we drive on the left side of the
road. I looked at a picture of the interior of the Ford Fusion (which
is so cute) and thought how wrong it looked for the steering wheel to
be on the left side! Having been in a left side of the road driving
pattern for the last three years, I don't think it will be wise for me
to drive for several weeks. And when I do start driving I refuse to
have it be in Atlanta with it's crazy traffic! That means that
Teresa, my dear, lovely friend who helped me and drove me around when
I left Atlanta, will have to help me and drive me around when I come
back into Atlanta. (Thanks Teresa!!!!! You're the best ever!!!!!)
I know what some of you are thinking.... How am I planning on buying
a car if I can't even test drive it? Ok, that's the thought that I
keep having anyways.... The answer is that I don't know exactly how
it will go. I might have to buy it more towards the end of my time in
Albuquerque so that I will be more comfortable behind the wheel. That
or I will just buy it and have someone in my family drive it to the
house and park it until I have enough confidence to drive! :-)
So, how can you help me? Stay off the sidewalks when I'm driving!
Oh, wait, that's not what I was supposed to say... I meant don't
laugh at me when you're driving me and I try to tell you that you're
driving in the wrong lane. And... if you have the misfortune of being
my passenger in those first few weeks, maybe give me gentle reminders
of which lanes I am actually supposed to be in and don't scream when I
start to pull out on the left side of the street.
I love you all!
