We've had several requests for pictures of our car, so here it is. It's a Peugeot 206. You might be asking yourself--who makes Peugeot cars? Well, Peugeot does. It's a French automaker and its cars are fairly popular around here. The car is smaller than we're used to, but we can't complain. There are only two of us, and it can actually haul quite a bit when the back seats are folded down.

Last night we returned luggage to Jacob and Annette Cooper--the expats from Chicago that have just recently joined us here in Amsterdam. They went on a trip last week and we stored their luggage for them in our living room. They probably had 8 suitcases, and we managed to squeeze them all into our tiny car.

The transmission on the car is standard, which is okay for John, but we're still working on teaching Erin how to drive it.
