The streets are very narrow and everyone parks on both sides of the brick streets so it makes the single lane in the middle quite narrow to get thru. As a result she inched along the tight streets at a pace that I am sure was almost a negative mph....good thing we were not going uphill(oh yeah, it's Fla....we have no hills) Sadie did well considering the backseat drivers that she had to contend with (e.g. her baby bro). She did stop about 14 feet in front of each stop sign and then it took her what felt like 10 minutes to pull up to the intersection....but that was OK as we had a very big turkey in the oven and thus plenty of time to kill! :) xoxo Dad Took Sadie driving my very big F-250 pickup truck in our neighborhood over T'giving.

We haven't done any city driving yet--is it much harder than the suburbs? My dream is to rent a zipcar and drive to Trader Joe's!
