We can't remember why we left the house yesterday, but we came back with signed papers for a 179 - we pick it up on the 22nd. We have been looking at them for 3 years. We have named it for its resemblance to a turtle - Schildpad is Dutch for turtle, so we named it SchildPod. We ordered turtle window stickers.  |

| We picked it up on Sat and went up to the Sierras. We were at the dealership for nearly 4(!) hours learning how things work, buying some things, signing papers.... Larry at Sprad's was really thorough and friendly. We felt like quite the head turners arriving at the camp site. We love our Turtle! |
