I drove my car yesterday. After months of waiting and submitting paperwork and more waiting, we drove the car out of the port parking lot. It felt great! Furthermore, we were able to claim all our stuff. Opening all our boxes was like Christmas. Dishes, baskets, shelves, art, our nice clock, baseball mitt, and lucky doormat... All back!
We only have temp tags on the Subaru, so there's still a bit of paperwork left, but the end is in sight. Ave's done a unbelievable job navigating the bureaucracy and personalities: researching, documenting, sweet talking, and even strong-arming a couple times.
We've been having a lot of fun here lately. I swam in the Baltic Sea, which was chilly but perhaps not more so than Laguna Beach in the early summer. The beach itself was great. I played some volleyball with Arx and Janno while Olja and Ave got some sun. Last weekend we went to Otepaa for Grandma Kikas's birthday.
We had to take care of A&O's mutant cat while they were in Tunisia. They came back tanned and I'm not sure the cat recognized them anymore because he tried to run away from them as they took him away.
