I don't really miss driving in Bulgaria. The streets are horrible. Traffic is a mess. Drivers are unpredictable at best and at their worst--crazy, crazy, crazy.

Then I came home to the States and found myself driving again. The streets are wide and pot-hole free. People park in designated parking spots and follow traffic laws. It's pretty great driving.

In fact, I've loved driving around town.

My uncle B. loves cars. At lot. He's owned this convertible as long as I can remember. It's beautiful. Until this trip I'd only ever ridden in the backseat or the passenger seat.

Now here I am in the driver's seat. This is a fun, fun car to drive. It's kind of a boat and I think it might be my uncle's baby so I was little afraid to drive it but let me tell you get a little wind in your hair and all of your worries fly out the window.

Oh and I had no idea how many people would wave at me while I was driving down the street. That's really wonderful. It brings you joy and other people joy as well. I've never had so many people wave at me before.

Please note that I do not think that the pretty red car pictured above is a T-Bird but I have no idea what it is aside from a red convertible with a white interior. I just really like the Beach Boys song which is why I titled this post "She'll have fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away."
