Driving in Bucharest

Okay I have been driving in Bucharest for almost 2 weeks now and I thought I would give you an update on things were going.

To be honest with you all, after the first day of driving here, I wanted to give up, but I stuck with it and it is getting better. I just keep telling myself, it like driving in Houston, only Houston make sense! But it is getting better each day! I don't get lost as often as I did when I first started. But when I do get lost, I can usually find my way home, even though it is the long way.

I am getting more and more comfortable driving down my street. My street is very narrow, and there are cars parked on both sides of the street (usually on the sidewalks, but some times they don't park on the sidewalks and it makes it harder to drive thru.) I still hold my breath every time I drive between to parked cars.

In the States, parking spaces, garages, lanes, really everything are bigger, her they are smaller, so I panic sometimes when I have to get to small spaces, but the one fact that keeps me sane is, I have full coverage here in Romania and it will take of everything, including any scratches, bumps, etc. But, I am still careful when I am out on the streets.

Thanks for the prayers and the encouragement! Love ya all!
