We ended up driviing to Paris (the country side is beautiful?Rolling hills and big sky). This of course caused a great deal of commotion with Bertineke who has driven in Paris before and kept telling me that I was making a mistake and "Oh those Parisians drive badly. They'll run you off the road" blahblahblahblah...

Driving in Paris was a breeze. And when we told Bertineke that, she said "Oh, it's August and most of the Parisians are on vacation." She just can't bring herself to admit that I can drive?better than her.
