Driving

Sunday I got behind the wheel of a car for the second time in the past six months. Once again it was Sr. Marie Esther's car. This time I was more comfortable driving on the left side of the road, but I still kept reaching for the stick shift with my right hand.

We didn't go very far, just a few kilometers to the Equator Cafe for fruit smoothies and chicken wraps. Although I take the bus to Rubaga to teach every week, I really don't get off campus that much--at least not further than I can ride on my bicycle. It was fun to drive. This is probably the longest I've gone without driving since I was 15 and received my learner's permit.

I told Bry'Chell she didn't have to go, since she complains about most of the places I drag her, but she chose to go with us. She gets out even less than I do. Of course, she goes to school everyday, but beyond that she's pretty much of a homebody.
