“Left side, left side, left side, left side.”

We got a car today, so I’ve been repeating that little mantra in my head. Truth be told though, on many roads here it doesn’t matter which “side” you drive on, as they’re only wide enough to have one side anyway. We’ve got a nice little Ford Focus with a manual transmission, so I’m adjusting to shifting left-handed, while my right hand keeps reaching for the stick. We survived a trip into downtown Waterford today (population around 100,000) to do some shopping for necessities like towels, soap, groceries. There’s no running to the mall or Wal-mart here, so even that little bit of shopping required multiple stops.

I finally unearthed the digital camera as well, so look for some pics here in the next couple of days.
