Off to Germany. Well, not us...

Thursday morning, Jim, Aletha, Matt and Laura hopped in the noble and sporty Opel they picked up from the Avis office at the train station.  Unfortunately for them it was the exact same car Nita and I had rented for the past few weeks.  Not a great car...

We lent them our GPS and off they headed for deepest and darkest Germany.  They were headed for Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a walled city from the early middle ages.  Apparently the city's defensive walls are still in tact and give a really nice view into the construction of the city.

For some reason, which I refuse to speculate at, they went to the German Museum of Medieval Torture.   Fun times!

On the way back our Garmin once again acted up.  For some damn reason it will get you to where you are going with no issues, but coming back it always seems to mess with you horribly!  The drive back took a good 5+ hours, complete with a lovely interaction with German police.  They made it home, having successfully smuggled over 4,500lbs of assorted German sausages into France.

Well done!
