We officially decided to suck it up and buy a car today. We rented a car for the afternoon and visited car lots throughout the Lausanne/Geneva area. The first thing I want to report is the major stride I must have taken in terms of my language acquisition...the first car lot we went to, the salesmen knew zero English, so I had to converse and translate car talk (which is NOT my forte) totally in French--we got back in our car and as we were driving away, Nathan exclaimed, "Wow! I'm so proud of you! You totally did all of that in French!" Really exciting.
Anyway, to make this short, we ended up finding a car that we both felt peace about...and...we spoke the unspeakable (at least to us)...one of the deciding factors in choosing this car was the fact that we could see it being a FAMILY car. I got the heebie-jeebies as Nathan said this, but a few minutes later, I couldn't help but smile and agree, "I can see this car being our FAMILY car..." Oh man, we're in for it now...
Whaaoooah!! Can't wait to be an auntie! :)
