Passed with flying colours! 

Tom now has an American driving license. Wahoo! He will be able to vote here in the upcoming election and become a resident of Charlevoix, Michigan!

And to end the nail biting suspense of did we or didn't we camp out last night? Here is the photographic evidence of our first night in the house.

The tent was already up. Now all we had to do was pump up the air beds which we sensibly did by day light.

We had dinner with Bill and Mary Lee Fowle - childhood friends of Tom's and then crept up the hill in the dark with the aid of torch lights. We toasted our first night with wine in plastic cups and went to sleep fully dressed to protect us from the cold. Slept pretty well although there were some odd noises in the night. I heard a strange sound like a crying child which I think might have been a racoon. The stars in the night sky were huge and brilliant. Woke up in the morning feeling and looking pretty rumpled as can be seen in the above photograph. Luckily we could make breakfast and have a hot shower in Cathy and Phil's cabin.
