Today Diane and I drove our rental car Sixt .. and then walked to the used car dealer and finished the deal. It had been such a pleasure working with Tall at cara. This was exactly the car that we were looking for inexpensive, low mileage, fund to drive and safe.
On the way over, we walked by a traditional German clothing store where you could buy things like lederhosen and dirndls.. we coudn’t resist ! !
Talat gone early this morning with our registration and insurance to get the plates made for the car… And with that the car was ours!
He said goodbye to our friends at Kara Auto. Talat I’ve been very wonderful to work with and we would recommend these guys to anyone who wants to buy a car there. Drove the car over to the university and gabe got to come out and take a look.
We left the car there and headed home. We noticed on the little picture frame with the video camera that it was snowing at home. !
Diane and I took a nice hike down through Gerbrunn and into the trails. its such a cute town !
Then a quick pasta dinner at home and then over to the parking lot near gabe’s lab to give him his first, and I believe only lesson on driving a stick
After a few rough starts, Gabe was driving around like a champ. I think he’s gonna really love having this car. On the way home we stopped to check the bus schedule. Diane and I have to leave at like a quarter before six tomorrow to get to the bus station to get to the train station to get to the airport in Frankfurt.
Then some quick packing and dog scratching, and then some sleep !
This had been a fantastic stay. Gabriel has found a great place and a great situation. He’s been such a great host too.1
Early morning travels tomorrow !
nite all, nite sam
