Part 3 of 3 completed!

As the title suggests, I have great news.

Today, May 22 I had my last test -the road test-. I passed it with flying colors!!!

I thank God for giving me a clear mind and little nerves. It started raining when I started driving. I never drove that rig with rain before but the ride was nice and smooth -something the examiners like-.
I thank God as well for this covered gray day -taking the sun out of my sight. He knew what I needed to get a better ride on the exam. It was a perfect day for driving. Rain always relaxes me.

I finally have my European "rig" driving license!!! I passed it on the first try!!! I am too happy to say more...

I must only wait to get a phone call from my driving school to pick up my temporary license until my real one gets mailed in from Madrid.

Once that happens I will be on the "job-searching-spree". I am sooooo excited.

I'll be posting again once I get my temporary license and again when I receive my real one.

Until then, keep tuned!

Step 3: Road classes start!

May 14, 2008 - Today (my second class) I had two hours of driving. My teacher (the camera man) took me around a difficult but very scenic route in the north of Girona (Spain) in an area named "l'Empordà". One interesting place we passed by was a big rice plantation site.

In this two hour class I had to pass on very thin roads. Enjoy!

Part 2 of 3 completed!

OK, I know I have been "silent" all this time but today I bring good news.

Today, May 6, I passed my track (maneuvers) exam on my third try.

So, you'll ask me what's next? Well, something much easier. The hard stuff has been dealt with.

Next is the actual driving test, that is, on actual roads. It can be tricky too. But it's a much easier exam to deal with. I hope to do the exam this month, in about two weeks from now).

Keep tuned!
