Scooterless in Bermuda

After all of the excitement of getting my scooter license last week, I was thrilled to go scooter shopping yesterday so I could drive home in my new shiny scooter. Unfortunately, the stores are open but they can't actually sell you a scooter since the insurance companies and everything are closed Saturday. Booo!!! No scooter for me. First we took a look at my beautiful Vespa. It's heavier than I thought, and a bit too girly for Jim to drive (particularly in white). So off to Yamaha. Jim likes them, they are waaaaay too sporty for me. Then we take a look at Peugeot. Lighter than I thought they'd be, a bit bigger but sporty and luxurious at the same time. So the big decision is Peugeot - so Jim can ride it and not look like a sissy, or live out my dream of my white Vespa. Sigh, I hate decisions.

Took a look at a few boats yesterday which made me realize that we absolutely need one. It's actually perfect boating weather today but we don't have a boat yet. Boats are darn expensive, but you can't live in Bermuda without one! Checking out cars today. Car, scooter, boat...lots of big expenses. :(

My company sponsors the US Rugby team, and the big Rugby Tourney has been going on all week in Bermuda. We were able to go to the dinner Friday night to meet the players. My first introduction to rugby. Interesting that more people in the US don't play. Afterwards, we rode back on our scooter in our t-shirts and realized that we definitely could never do that back in Chicago. Bermuda is growing on me. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
