Garage...Garage...Garage

The focus of the day was the...garage.

We have a Ford Expedition. Thank the dear Lord that we chose the regular model and not the EL version which is about 4-6 inches longer. "Normal" cars in Buenos Aires are bug-sized compared to our Monster Truck. Garages in Buenos Aires are made for these bugs not the monsters. We own waaaaaaay too much stuff which tends to overflow into the garage.

The funny thing is, this is supposed to be a two-car garage. There's room for a bike beside our car when it's in the garage. Not a tricycle, just a bike.

John and I headed to the local version of Home Depot today turning heads left and right (izquerda y dereche) with our vehicle. The parking lot attendant actually giggled in awe. Then John had to park in a disabled spot at the local version of WalMart because the regular spots wouldn't come close to fitting the Expedition. More looks.

It's now 11 PM and John is still working in the garage. It is starting to look terrific - we'll see how long that lasts! The bummer is, we have four bikes! :-)

Hope your weekend was great!
Love ya!

I remember when you had a big 2 car garage that was always so filled with unopened boxes from your move that there was no room for even 1 car and we all had to park out in the yard.

By the way, I feel a lot safer knowing you're driving that big boat.
