after a few rounds of procrastinatory pac-man, the suitcase packing is done and we're stoked to be heading to gay par-eee tomorrow.
it's our first "real" road trip so after we drop Sky off at camp, it's 7 hours on the open road.
the weather, which was -10 celsius a few days ago, has warmed up and all the powdery snow is this mess of sludge -- mmmm shave ice.
if the weather stays warm, the only thing i'm really concerned about it the autobahn. people talk about how cool it is to be able to go as fast as you want (and about how great german drivers are -- ok, i think that's mostly germans who say that) but molly and i feel like straight up grandmas out there.
even on the little 2-lane country roads (ah, john denver) people are riding our ass, passing us, squeezing in and narrowly avoiding a head-on collision.
on the autobahn we're pushing 90 miles an hour in the slow lane and cars pass us so fast our car shakes. but we're not worried.
we've got a thermos full of coffee, a bag full o' snacks (including Triscuits, the official snack of the buddymollys (TM)) and Rick Steves' French phrasebook.
we'll get to paris when we get there, and probably won't have any german drivers behind us.
Absolutely LOVE the blog! Keep it coming!
