El Carro

The big news here is automotive.

After 4 1/2 months of delays, our car was finally released from customs and delivered to our apartment building. It then took another several weeks to get the licence plates, which were delivered yesterday. We had an official placing of the plates ceremony in the garage. Addison thought that called for proper pomp and attire.

Note: the umbrella was in the car. Thank goodness. We only packed SEVEN of them when we moved here to a place where it never rains.

Of course, the car's battery is dead, so we can't actually drive it. But we can look at it and admire the shiny red diplomatic plates.

Ooooh.
