After much bureaucratic wrangling, Jonathan was finally allowed to take the written part of the Italian Driver's License Test this morning in Lucca. He has been preparing for the test by memorizing all the various road rules, road signs, marked and unmarked speed limits, etc. and as we drive around in town he has been pointing out all the many different ways that the drivers around here are regularly and shamelessly flouting the law. We have started turning to each other and saying "Citizen's arrest! Citizen's arrest!" like we're in an episode of the Andy Griffith Show.

But I am happy to report that he passed the written test this morning with flying colors and now gets to begin taking the practical on-street driving lessons. This should be fun.
