Just got back from Germany spent quite a while on the autobahn. Kinda like the interstate but no speed limit in most places. Generally went between 85 and 100 fastest I went was 115 mph. I was in a Renault diesel so, unfortunately I was not in a very fast car. Modern cars are very stable at these speeds so it was really not a big deal. Slower traffic stayed in the right lane and I stayed there most of the time except to pass. Many cars were going much faster so I kept an eye out when I went in the left lane.

Came upon one accident on the trip (a rear ender naturally), don't know if that is indicative of more accidents due to the speed or not. But everyone involved had reflective yellow vests on, many were putting them on as I came by. I looked and saw in the map pocket of each seat was a neatly wrapped reflective yellow vest.

Gas is about $7.50 a gallon. A medium sized coke (their biggest) at McDonald's is $4.00. Most things seemed expensive. We really do not appreciate how good we have it. Quaint was a lot of fun for about 9 days, but after that I was ready to come home to ice, big drinks and decent sized parking spaces.
