I Drive a Mercedes

...but it's not as exotic as that sounds.


The broken shift knob--not exactly what you'd call "ergonomic"

If this van could speak...Oh the stories it would tell. My in-laws bought it in Ukraine years ago when they were living there, and now it's become quite the family vehicle for all of us living here. We've piled in our 3-generation family of 12 to go to church...and sometimes we even have friends who join us. The more the merrier. We've had a lot of good laughs about this van and its missing parts and falling off pieces...come to think of it...I guess it's a good thing this van can't talk (wink wink).
But it {most of the time} never ceases to get us from point A to point B often with our precious fresh baked livelihood in tow. So we mostly just love it.
We are grateful to Mom and Dad for allowing us to use it whenever we need for our many adventures.



...and don't even get me started on the TRAFFIC IN KRAKOW! This is the reason that I can count on one hand how many times I've gone into 5th gear.
