Our New Wheels

 We have now turned in our large rental van for our very own wheels.  This minivan seats all 8 of us comfortably and can still fit our stroller in the back.  It has a 6 gear manual transmission and we like it so far.
It is nice to be out of the rental van. We felt like we stuck out like a sore thumb in that van (because we did) and now we blend in a little better (until the 6 children file out)

Just as a FYI if you have any interest in the process of getting this car ready to drive we did have to get insurance on it and that was pretty easy.  it was about 200 euros for 6 months.

We also had to go and get it inspected.  They have government owned inspection stations all around the country.  The one we went to was pretty modern.  They ran the car through a serious of tests and checked everything on it.  We had 1 thing that had to be fixed so we did that .  Here are a few pictures that I got of the facility.
