The big news of the day....a new car. Well let me clarify, a new used car. We were finally able to finalize the papers, plates, registration, emissions and a litney of other things to take possession of our 2nd car an Opel Astra (a wagon). Still learning the whole diseal thing. I think Brad's a bit worried I'll put regular gas in so he's put reminder stickers everywhere!
So we went for a drive in the new family wagon. We were hunting a local horse farm that we had heard swaps riding lessons for working in the stables. With the little german we know and the help of english speaking germans along the way, we came up empty handed.
So, lets go for a drive began. We suddenly found ourselves on a narrow road only getting narrower. Posted a mile in was a sign for tractors only. There was no way we were going to be able to turn around so we just knew there would be an end to our path. After passing many eldery people taking their evening walk polietly stepping off the pavement onto the grass with their walkers...yes walkers...and many weird looks we finally made it to a road where vehicles were allowed. We chalk it up to a learning experience and a beautiful drive others will never experience! Yes the first adventure of "The Borkes Do Europe"! Lynn- I know you can appreciate this story!!
So, off to take my drivers test tomorrow so I can enjoy more of the countryside in my new Opel!
