a balloontwister’s aliya saga

Mazel Tov..
Its a license.
Sara Baila, Penina, and I passed our driving tests…Woo hoo.
The whole test lasted less then 20 minutes … for all three tests.
I started, penina went second, Sara B went third.
Penina drove about 5 minutes for her part. No sweat.
The Ordeal started off with our driving lesson.
If you have a US license and are within 1 year and haven’t failed 2 times, all you need is a lesson.
The lesson consists of driving around for 20 minutes and being quizzed on the street signs and how to drive around talpiot… not an easy thing. Considering that part of the lesson takes place in an Arab Neighborhood.
We got into the car and noticed the instructor was limping around and did not look too well.
He must have been in his 70’s and did not look well.
He didn’t want to cancel because we came all the way from RBS.
Half way through Penina’s lesson he threw up.
Then during Sara b’s lesson he threw up again.
When we were done, he couldn’t get out of the car so a few of us had to lift him into a seat. We wanted to call the ambulance but he refused.
His daughter had to come and take him home.
We think he had a virus of some sort.
It was a bit scary because when we walked him to sit… he couldn’t support himself.
The highlight of the day … for me atleast… was when the instructor asked Sara B where her glasses were, as referenced on the application.
Sara b said “I have contacts”
I interjected, “I don’t care who you know you STILL need to wear them”
Thank you
I’ll be here all week.
Don’t forget to tip the help.
Baruch hashem when we finished the tests, he looked alot better.
We had lunch at a place in the Mall and headed back to RBS for Hot dogs..
Thank you Ma and Dad Waldman…. Abeles and Heyman franks ARE the best.
