Mississippians meet Downtown Driving in Vancouver

We've already had some funny moments here in Vancouver. We are adjusting to city life and doing fairly well, being from good ole Mississippi, though there are some things that are just really different . Driving being one of them. Tonight Scott was driving the kids and me back into downtown from Wal-mart (not like the one we're used to) when we turned onto a street behind a bus that looked almost like a trolly for lack of a better word. We heard a guy honking but thought he was honking for us to hurry up and turn. Then another bus pulled up behind us. It wasn't long before we realized we were on a street that wasn't for cars!!! HAHAHA!!! There we sat in the middle of a bunch of buses! We had to wait behind the bus at the bus stop to wait for the people to get on and off. I tried to duck from all the people staring. Of course we turned off at the nearest street that put us back on track. It's no wonder that talking on your cell phone while driving is illegal here.
