Road-scapades

The big surprise of the day was that Matt and I helped get the rental car for Frank & Vanessa's wedding with another cousin. The three of us hopped in his little Mini Cooper and sped off to Bordeaux (about 1 1/2 - 2 hours away ... depending on traffic and how fast you drive ;) )

After getting the rental, we started the drive back to La Rochelle. But slight problem with the Mini, the tire had blown and we couldn't finish the rest of the trip with both cars. So we pulled over on the side of the highway and waited for the tow truck.

Once we spoke to a really nice tow-truck guy, who really hooked us up, we were on our way in the rental ... oh, did I mention that it was a BMW, hard-top convertible ? ;)

This is me, trying to keep my eyes open (because of the sun & because of my hair flapping around in the wind).
This is me when we stopped at a rest area.
This is the car with the top down ...
... with the top half way on ...
... and completely closed.
