I will also upload a video soon, but so far the pictures should be enough. It is weekend again. Time flies by. Last wednesday some german colleagues came to my place foa BBQ. They were on Education and we used the time to eat some steaks, sausages, drink beer, wine, Pastis.

Since thursday I am proud owner of a 1995 Renault Clio. 1.2L, white, some dents and it runs. I bought him from Dorion and Jeanine. They were on assignment also and now return to the US soon. They got the car also from the assignee before. So we can call this car a traditional assignee car. Perfect for the french towns. I am not scared anymore to park on a parkinglot. This car already has enough dents.
I just need to park my Cougar on a safe place, before might returning it to germany. On friday I went to my local Bank to sign the insurance contract for the little Clio. Thanks to Jerome (a colleague) and M. Becamel vom the bank I also managed the paperwork to get a new Carte Grise (car papers with license…). I went to the town hall in Baillargues. Less stress than going to Montpellier. It takes 4 weeks due to the holiday season, but the old papers are valid for 4 weeks anyway. I managed everything in french and some english. I am proud. My level is rising from a 3 year old to a 4 1/2 to 5 year old 🙂

At least I understand more and speak more. I enjoy the sun and on Monday is July 14th, the french national holiday. I will go to Montpellier to see the fireworks. Without my family unfortunately. They are still doing vacation in germany. Anyway, they are back soon 🙂

A bientot
