Warren's European Vacation





Map from Dresden to Leipzig, today's journey!


		So last weekend I had the Opel minivan. 3L engine, gas, moved
		well. I decided this time, since no one was fighting me for it,
		to take the Mercedes. Sounds better to say that you were driving
		down the Autobahn in your Mercedes at 180+ km/hr, right?

							RIGHT!
	



This was the company Mercedes I drove. No No NO! The little POS in back!


Entrance to the autobahn


Me doing 180 on the autobahn


		I have to relate this story to you, the little canuck on the
		german autobahn. There I was, sailing down the autobahn at 180
		km/hr because the stupid Mercedes couldn't go any faster than
		that. Should have had the Opel, it could clear 200, but I didn't
		have my camera out at the time.

		Anyway, I am sailing down the autobahn, I pass this police car
		like he is standing still - very cool! He doesn't care because
		it is allowed here, I am thrilled because at home that would
		have netted me a $500+ fine, I am sure!

		I see a Mercedes come up fast from behind, so as a good autobahn
		user I pull over in to the right lane. It's this little old lady
		whose head doesn't even make it up past the head rest and she
		leaves me like I am standing still. You know what it is like
		when you are walking down the street in town and car passes you
		at 50 km/hr. she was doing at least that! So to my 180 you can
		add another 50, so conservatively, 230 km/hr. Whew!

	



A village on the way, Liebertwolkwitz, and its water tower


Just a cute lane in that village


On my way I found some snow that had fallen
