Cars, Cable and Crepes.

The morning was spent looking at and driving cars. Yes both Roxanne and i test drove an automobile, sitting on the wrong side of the car, driving on the wrong side of the road, and in traffic like neither of us has ever seen. It was really weird. I found myself looking the wrong way for traffic, Roxanne did that also, and we both turned on the windshield wipers instead of the directional signal (more than once). Roxanne almost ran into the back of a trishaw driver, I scared the car lady by driving too much to the left...had to correct that a few times. We finally decided on a Hyundai Sonata. They will deliver it on Thursday morning and the scariest part of our adventure will begin, driving!! The first purchase following that was a GPS, the last thing we need to do is get lost! Well we finally got our cable installed today, only to find that Japan is still getting rocked by earthquakes, those poor people, I don't know how much more they can handle. We discovered that half of the cable package we ordered we don't have, so we will continue to fight with Astro to get a second line, and HD service. It has been nice without TV  though, it is just nice to be able to see what is happening in the world. English premier league football is not too bad either!! dealing with Cable guys, new TV's and all that took up most of the afternoon. Brenna and I went and picked out her birthday cake also, she is very excited to be having her Birthday, but disappointed that all of her friends wont be here. Brenna wanted to swim so badly, but after the car this morning and the cable this afternoon, it was getting late and dinner was next on the list. We were going to walk down to Kapitans, our favorite Indian food place, but when we saw that Crepe Cottage was open, we decided to go there. It is usually packed, and we caught it just as it was opening. the food there is all prepared to order and you can watch the ladies cook it right outside. It was so good!! Brenna loved this place and actually ate everything she was given. inexpensive too, $30 US for the three of us to have dinner and dessert. We walked home along the water, and got off to bed early.
