Had my second driving lesson yesterday. And this time, I drove on the freeway.
The driving instructor picked me up bright and early at 9am. Bleary eyed and sleepy, I adjusted my seat and mirrors and headed down to the Great Highway. We headed South and before I knew it, we were on our way down to Pacifica.

The drive was really nice, and when your senses are maxed out trying to process all the information available: cars on the street in front of you, cars on the road behind you, instructions from the driving instructor, an hour goes by with the blink of an eye. Time flies when you’re behind the wheel. Fruit flies like a banana.
After a short drive to Pacifica, which by the way is really pleasant because we took the Ocean Route, we headed back towards Chinatown.
Driving on the freeway was a tad scary, but if I psyche myself to pretend it’s some driving game, it’s ok again. Also comforting to know that if I bash the car, the instructor’s car is insured.
Traffic downtown was crazy, and it was raining. It slowed to a crawl, but I stuck in there and managed to get there in 1 piece. Car intact as well.
It was fun. I get to drive again on Tuesday. Yay!
