I think they’re just rude. Cologne though, was different. Liked that city. I’d go back. Strasbourg too, which was Germany for awhile. One thing I could say about Germany, it’s very clean and tidy.
Now that we are talking about travel, I am seeking advice. Thinking about flying to Oklahoma (family there) and then renting a car to drive back to Cleveland, with stops in Little Rock to see friends, the Ozarks for Crystal Bridges (the art museum built by the WalMart heiress), the Shiloh battlefield near Memphis (went there when I was six and for some reason want to go back), some days in Nashville (more family, the fun and decent contingent), maybe a stop in Kentucky for bourbon and the ventriloquist museum near Cincinnati.
But, car rental prices are jacked up, so I guess I’ll probably drive my own car and skip flying into Oklahoma. Here’s my question: What should I do to prepare my car for road trip? It’s a Chevy Trax with 99,000 miles, new tires and runs good.

That is on my list as well. I have two people I need to visit in Braunschweig.

Going to visit the Christmas Markets in Heidelberg. Heidelberg is one of my favorite cities on the planet.
