Doucement

One of the words you hear all the ex-pat moms say to their kids in French is doucement which can mean softly or gently. This is the word of wisdom our gardener gave me as he tried to direct me out our garage for the first time. I was so nervous with the Prado but managed. I've now done it several times. There isn't much to it as long as our gardener helps me. Gusi, luckily, just sits in his car seat, happy to be going somewhere. I enjoy the quiet he provides me as well.

Doucement I will learn more about life in this new country, including how to drive around it.
