A is for Autobahn, B is for BMW

I had my first experience driving on the autobahn Wednesday!  Well actually, I drove on the autobahn for 2 separate trips on Wednesday.  The first one was to go to a meeting in Ansbach for new Sped people in the district.  It was actually not as exciting as I had hoped.  It was raining and we hit a couple of Staus (or traffic jams).  So I really didn't get to experience the full effect.

In the evening after the meetings was over and we were back in Vilseck, I headed down to Schwanddorf to go to a store called Globus. It's a super Target of sorts with tons of school supplies and stuff for the apartment and right off of the autobahn!  Well, this time is was a clear evening and I was in a rental BMW.  So, needless to say I had some fun :)  I'm still getting used to the no speed limits thing.  I think I maxed my speed at 185KM per hour, which is something like 115 MPH.  Cars were still passing me, but it was exciting and scary and very German all wrapped into one.  So I was a giddy happy!

Speaking of BMWs on Sunday I went over to Paula and Wolfgangs for a family dinner with Wolfgang's dad and brother.  Wolfgang's brother Klaus bought a VERY nice BMW convertible last year and we took it out for a spin!

I think my white sunglasses go nicely with the beautiful paint job!
