Note to self: do not try to fix electrical appliances with duct tape and then plug them into a converter and then plug it into an outlet in another country. a) you blow the fuse in the house and b) you look crazy when you show someone what it was that blew the fuse, and it's held together with duct tape. Also, your room might smell like smoke for the next 24 hours and you'll cause quite a "kafuffle". Just a little reminder.
Today went a little smoother than yesterday. I drove to Carra's school (accompanied by Al) twice today, there and back, with only 2 stalls the entire day! Yippie! Al was doing his version of "cheerleading" in the car to celebrate!
I finally got a bank account kind of set up, which means I have to wait for all the stuff to come in the mail, and then I can set up a bus pass and cell phone and everything. I am hoping to have all that figured out by next week sometime.
I am really loving it here! I have the bus system kind of figured out, and it's just beautiful in the City Center. The castle is absolutely enormous, and it's at the top of this rocky hill, and across the street from all the main shops and restaurants. You can walk out of the Gap, and all the sudden you're looking straight at the Castle, parts of which date back to 1130. Wow! I'll have to take a tour. (p.s. I have actually not gone into the Gap, as I avoided all the American chains in town, including Starbucks, to try and find something new :)
Well I think that's about all for now. I am hoping to explore a different side of town tomorrow, and maybe try out a yoga class while I'm at it!
Best!

oh, and to the 13 year old whiplash causer... I think you're neat.
