manejando

My first attempt at driving in Puerto Rico...

Betsy filled my minivan tires with air and we all climbed in.  I felt a little nervous--I've seen some pretty daring stunts on the roads in my short time here already.  My staff reassured me from the back seat as I backed away from the shed.  I shifted the green van to drive--and we were on our way!

Four hours--and a trunk full of bags--later, we arrived safely at the school with no new scratches on the van!  I breathed a sigh of relief as my colleagues congratulated me for a job well done.

So today I thank God that He enabled me to conquer Highway 3 in the sun, the rain, and the dark.

...and then I wonder if that is really such a good thing...I guess I'm going to have to do this again!
