ok...so, over the weekend we drove down to kent (which isn't quite the countryside, but close enough when compared to the urban life of central london) to stay with a friend...it was definitely a quiet place which is "the country" to me...Anyways, we rented a car to get there so we could bring Gus...we got hooked up with a car because they ran out of automatic compact cars with built-in SatNav systems when i got to the counter...so, they gave us the car to the right which was a pleasant surprise...
this was my second time driving, so i was definitely more comfortable driving on the WRONG side of the road...the roundabouts were a piece of cake, although there were moments where i probably should have waited a little longer...i was beeped at my fair share of times and i also did my fair share of beeping...i even exhibited road rage a couple of times when pedestrians would randomly cross the road in front of me or walk through the cross walk when i had a green light...profanity-laced tirades spewed from my mouth...
anyways, gus had a good ol' time in the back seat (although he never looks it!)...he hasn't truly ridden in the back seat of a car in a long time...
so, he did what he loves to do...he loves to stick his head out the window and let the wind blow his ears horizontal...its funny when i can see his head sticking out in my side view mirror...on our way home, the SatNav took us through our old neighborhood in Pimlico where we first lived for a month in corporate apartments before Gus arrived (see early blogs)...Gus had a good look at the place as we drove by...its funny how things eventually come full circle in life at unexpected times...
