Mission Accomplished.

The search is over! We have found THE car. And what a relief it is. It may look like a minivan, but really, it's NOT. It's small and cute. It was so difficult to find a car that was automatic, that could fit a stroller in the back and that wasn't so big that I couldn't parallel park easily. Brandon really flexed his negotiating muscle... he managed to get the dealer to knock $120 U.S. off the price! Um... yeh. Either we were at a no-negotiating dealer, or they saw the Americans walk through the door and we didn't stand a chance. We won't be able to pick the car up for a week. There were some minor repairs, but also the common practice in the Czech Republic is to pay cash for a car. "When in Rome..." So we'll have to transfer some money and go back next Saturday. At least I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

There is one small admission to make though. It's a ummmmmmm... French car. Hey, I'll eat my "Freedom Fries" as we drive down the road, and it's all good. We're European now, you know??? :-)
