We had no choice. Both our driver's licenses would expire soon, Ken in August and me in December. As we are both over 79, we are required to renew our licenses in person. Knowing what we know about the DMV in any jurisdiction, we were not looking forward to the visit. But what actually happened came as a surprise. We got lost.
The GPS in our rental car could not accept the address but Ken had been given instructions yesterday in the restaurant so we felt comfortable finding it. We followed the instructions precisely but the DMV was nowhere to be found. We asked for directions again, but to no avail. We knew we were in the same general area as the DMV because everyone told us we were close by, but after three trips up and down the same section of the highway we finally went into an office of engineers who gave me a map from the computer. And we finally found it. We left home just after 10:00 and arrived at the DMV at 11:30. The journey should have taken us 20 minutes.
Our time at the DMV was short. The people were polite and kind and we spent a total of ten minutes renewing our licenses. I even passed the vision test. Ken and I were dreading the wait at the DMV but it turned out our drive was the part that exhausted us. On the way home we stopped at McAllister for lunch. And we are a chocolate chip cookie for dessert, our reward for good behavior.
