Well, to celebrate the fact that I have made it a month, I gave Germany a little break from me and took probably my longest road trip ever--to Switzerland. Ok ok it's only about 7 hours, but let's just say I haven't been much of a road tripper in the past. And I not only survived, but thrived (throve?). So now I'm in Switzerland, and it is a beautiful country (not that Germany isn't). My pictures don't really do it justice, so I guess you'll just have to go for yourself. But, if you will, let us return to the road tripping portion. Being... as old as I am... I have been well trained in the art of "speak now or forever hold... it." So, natürlich, when confronted with a gas station, I did what any American would do--seize the day. However, I was presented with a little surprise or two. First off, I was charged (like, money) to get through the turnstile. Okaaaaaay. I then received a 50 cent voucher which apparently can be used many places. All I could think of was Urinetown. Don't you worry, though; things got better. Have you ever been to the Chicago airport? This used to be my favorite airport because it had a plastic cover which rotated to be clean after every use. Well, the toilet pictured below tops it.
After flushing, the ENTIRE SEAT rotates and that magical blue rectangle comes out and sanitizes the entire surface. Fellow Americans: Say what you will about Europeans not spending exorbitant amounts on teeth whitening. This looks like money much better spent if you ask me.
I'm not sayin'; I'm just sayin'.
