We got a late start today. We used the rental car and I asked at the desk about using reverse. The clerk was able to come out and help me. How embarrassing! It just involved pulling up on a lever as you shift into reverse. Very simple if you know what to look for.

We spent a great part of the day looking for a place to park anywhere within walking distance of town. The city was so very busy. Much of the street is marked “Loading Only”. We finally found a spot to park but I am not sure it was actually public parking. It was only one hour parking with no “meter feeding” allowed.

Trista had spotted a Subway restaurant on one of our drives through this part of town and wanted to eat there. I think it was the missing home thing. She has been gone a long time. So we walked quite a ways to get there only to find it was only take away. We ended up walking back and eating in the car.

After walking around town for a while and seeing how the buses worked it was time to return the rental car. We got VERY lost. I thought I had been doing the wrong side of the road driving quite well but then I drove around cars waiting in the left lane and I ran a red light. We were almost hit by a small van. The signs were so different and the people drove so crazy. (In fairness, they probably thought I drove crazy too). I knew it was time to give up for now. I was glad to find my way to the airport, return the car and take a taxi back to the hotel.

We just ate in our room.
