The Blue Lion

Here is our little Peugot, aka the Blue Lion. It is small, zippy, fun to drive and gets great gas mileage - which is important because gas is expensive!! Both Bill and I have become relatively proficient at driving on the left side of road, from the passengar side of the car. The gear shift is on the left but that has been surprisingly easy to master. What took concentration was looking right, left, right before proceeding at an intersection, looking over our left shoulder to back up, and glancing up left, not right, to look in the rear view mirror.

So far the only trouble we've had was two nails in the left right tire. We went to get gas and asked the attendants to check oil, water and tires. The tire was very low on air and they discovered not one but two nails. But without even jacking the car up, they removed the nails and plugged the tires, and we were off - for less than $20. (the guy right next to us had a nail in his tire too - were we prey to some sort of a scam - we'll never know. . .)
