Here are the pictures from the road trip through Germany, to Austria, to Lichtenstein, to Switzerland. The participants were me, John, Matt (he will be a 3L in night school, he was also one of the program directors), and Tillman (a native German, he knows Matt from the time he spent in Pittsburgh. Tillman lived in Pgh for 13 years). Someone remind me to send these pictures to Matt.... Read Full Entry

Lichtenstein wasn't very kind to us. It was expensive and we had a near disaster (which can be seen shortly), but it was pretty.

Disaster. The road we were going down had a detour, and instead of taking his time doing a 3pt turn, Tillman decided he could make it...wrong. Tire, meet wall. One of the highlights and funniest moments of the trip occurred just after we made impact, we all felt a loud bump and heard a hissing noise.... Tillman "What"s that sound?" John, completely stone faced "That's the sound of the air leaving your tire." I guess you just had to be there.

The wall got the worst of the impact.

Matt and I were completely useless changing a tire, and when it looked like John and Tillman weren't going to be able to get the lug nuts off, Matt and I went for a walk to a gas station about 300 yards down the road. On the way, we encountered the spot where Tillman hit.
