Car #2: Xsara

Shockingly, it's been a month now and Carlos has yet to find us our Kangoo. "S" and indeed Carlos also are both surprised it's taking so long.

And we've had to return our lovely new Ford rental car. "Our friendly car," as Kepler likes to say. Bye-bye, friendly car!

And in her stead, Carlos has loaned us another car to use, a slightly aging citroen xsara, and joy of joys, it's blue! Kepler's favorite color!

Compared to the brand-new car I've just returned, this new vehicle is not much a driving pleasure. No farfegnugen. 200k kms. (is that 200Mm?) The driver-side window doesn't go down. She's slow. But Kepler loves her. He calls he Xsara, and he's thrilled.

But hopefully we'll have a shiny Kangoo to call our own very soon. And we can only pray that she's blue. But that's too much to ask of Carlos, I think.
