Differences in European Countries

Coming back from Garmisch, Germany this weekend, Emily and I came to a few conclusions about driving in Europe. The Germans are undoubtedly our favorite drivers. At 90 mph, we were being passed like we were standing still. The nice thing was that the left lane was actually used for passing. After passing someone, people move back into the right lane. Turn signals are actually used and I was only cut off once while driving in Germany. The car that cut me off....was from France. All of the positive statements above did not seem to apply to any cars we encountered from France. They stayed in the left lane, cut people off, and were completely random with turn signals....basically, they would fit in with drivers in the US. Then we come to Belgian drivers. Even more random than the French vehicles.

Thankfully, the house was in good order when we got back. There has been a lot of flooding in our area over the last few days, including some from my battalion. Honestly, it's nice to feel that we can begin getting into a little bit of a routine with Claire and Isaac.
