I'm taking most of today to update the blog since it was in desperate need of some love. I'll be going through and correcting each entry's date and hopefully updating/correcting as much content as I can. Not that anyone will want to go through and read it all at the end...but even some of the early entries should get attention. If you are so inclined, check them out again. This won't be finished until tomorrow, though, so wait a bit. [update: So maybe not yet. I'm tired and I don't want to write anymore.]
Andy is hoping to drive his way to Munich tonight in some beater sedan. Don't break down man. You do not want to be stuck in the French or German countryside. There's nothing out there.
Three random things about today:
1. I ate a delicious kebab burrito thing. I have no idea what it's called since I pointed to its picture at the kebab place. Whatever it was, it was good. Middle-Eastern/Mexican food? It just might work...
2. I couldn't extend my stay in my hotel downstairs with the receptionist, who was being a huge *expletive deleted*. I had checked availability online so I knew there were rooms. After returning to check out/check in (thanks Expedia), the lady freaks out and runs away before coming back defeated with my reservation. I flashed her a smile and walked back to my room. Why are people like this? What ever happened to peace, love, and understanding?
3. Two cleaning ladies came into my room despite the "Do Not Disturb" sign. Instead of trying to communicate why they were there they just went off in rapid-fire German. After I finally came up "Nein sprecken deutsche" or something to that effect (I think that means I don't speak German) they stopped and started to leave. I motioned that it was OK to come and clean since I felt bad. One of them had been really animated and made it seem like this was important. I was shirtless, which may or may not add anything to the story. They came back in, and I went back to writing at the computer. After three minutes or so, they left. I turned around as one came right back in. I saw her walk into the bathroom and walk right out. When I looked in there I saw they hadn't touched anything. WTF mate?
Random Thought:
Comments are nice.

We are following your travel experiences with great memories of our travels when we were younger and we did the trips we now describe at roughing it! Couldn't do it now. But that's why you do do these sort of trips when you are younger and more resilient.
Life Lesson #745 - Ok not your rents but we're glad that you decided not to run with the bulls.
We're not all lemmings.
So your friends that are reading this now now that we are old but we are still here reading your journal with great interest.
Take Care,

How is it that you can correct your journal but I can't update the comments! "now now" is suppose to be "now know".
