rental car bye-bye

We have to return our beloved Skoda tomorrow, which I am sad about. My only complaints after living with it for a week are: spartan interior, weak turning radius and the steering feels a little loose now (the car only has 3k km on it). Other than that, it's great.

Zoe got ahold of a Sharpie yesterday and inked herself up quite dramatically. She looked like a Mission hipster with tribal tattoos by the time she was done! Here's a youtube video about it -- email me your youtube id to view it if you dont have access.
