Things we forgot to tell you

Yes, as we drive along, sometimes our conversations turn to blog posts. Here's some things we forgot to tell you...

In the 'we didn't expect to see that' category:

• speed limit signs for tanks. The military kind.
• Slippery when frogged signs...to warn of the little devils who may wish to cross the street
• 18 inch high fences to discourage the little devils from doing what they wish
• Another sign with a frog saying that You Like HIM!

In the 'take our word for it' category:

• The Alps and a sinus cold are not a good mix
• Castles don't make it easy to drive. They show up everywhere--but our favourite ones are on the edge of a cliff.
• Castles attract all sorts of tourist buses and grouchy tourist people, and make for long lineups, whether it is raining or not. Especially the King Ludwig castles!

In the 'this is what we love about Germany' category:

• I love the churchbells. I find it interesting that sometimes, they take turns ringing. The classic churches go first. The smaller churches seem to follow. That makes it hard to tell when it is REALLY noon!
• M loves the cars. A lot of times he starts to laugh just because he saw one he didn't think he was going to see. Like a Volkswagon THING. Yes, that is the name. Go figure.

In the 'things we might not miss' category:

• smoking. MAN this cafe is smoky! But there it is. Tomorrow we will try the library.
• Sore throat and colds
