Back from our Trip to Stuttgart

Bonjour Ami's

Wednesday night.
I really don't like the autobahn. Especially when it's raining pitchforks!
People passing at 100 mph and tailgating to boot!. There was so much
water on the road. We saw two hydro-plane accidents. One guy hit the
guard rail so hard it tore his front wheels off. It is to stressful. My game is
to try to focus a lot and just be safe. On the way back, a 20 mile back-up
on the north bound autobahn. We were on the south-bound. --he-he!!
Anyway the Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart was a hoot. Also thanks to my
GPS for getting us into and out of Stuttgart. That city is a ZOO!
I am going to try to put more captions with pictures. When you take a 100
images in a day it's difficult to remember what each one was. The cars in the
museum are obviously all Mercedes Benz! My favorite was the colorful bus
from Buenos Aires.
I almost bought a new Mercedes B class but the VAT (value added tax) was
too high 9,500 euro ($13,300) choke- choke! That wasn't the price of the
car. That's what the government gets!! Just kidding about buying. Love to look!
And to those who have wondered if I am really here. YES!
But I had been busy practicing for the French Grand Prix. (not to be mistaken
for the "Tour de France) I won that in 2007

Tour de France
No Michael, I had won the Tour de France a few years earlier on a unicycle! This time I have won the France Grand Prix without a helmet on. L

Hi Low and Glo! Loved the blue shutters and Rathaus, as well as your views from the kitchen! Was surprised they let you sit in the cars at Mercedes! The B. A. bus was so colorful! Thanks for the i.d.'s on the pics! You are doing good with your blog's. It is hot here today, but got all the windows washed outside thanks to Ed's help!!! I am one happy camper! Saw Larry and Angela's daughter and 2 granddaughter's last night at the gymkana with Kendra! Those babies are so adorable! Kendra made a 19.? on her barrels and her best yet! Ed went off fishing this afternoon to the Mesa where am sure it will be cooler! Love and miss you both! Sharon

Hi on Thurs.
I just realized I sent comments to your Stuttgart blog and didn't put my name or email. Did you get it? If not I will write it over. S.
