I’ll have to try to catch up with comments tomorrow morning as it has just gotten too late here to do much. I’m trying to unpack some boxes – I had 16 large boxes in the kitchen alone this morning and got through five of them during the course of the day. I could barely get to the stove so had to get rid some of them. Considering there is very little storage in the kitchen (or anywhere in this house, for that matter), I have no idea where I’m going to put even a fraction of this stuff.

For all who were interested, the BMW was towed to the dealership today as the guy in the BMWmobile couldn’t get the trunk open (all he did was what we had already done). They’re hoping it was shipped in some kind of “transit mode” and that their computer can open it; if not, they may have to take the trunk lid off or remove the back seats to access the manual latch. This is the first of this model (135i) in Saudi Arabia, so they don’t seem too sure what to do with it. Personally, I would have just called Munich and asked (which I thought about doing myself ;-)).
