Anyhow off Wednesday morning to Paris. At CDG airport in Paris we were supposed be met by the car rental dude at the gate … but noooo. After 6 cell phone calls we finally connected and picked up our new Peugeot (more on the car purchase later) and drove to Germany. We have done that route several times, but it is still a fun and extremely beautiful route through the champagne country of eastern France. The French speed limit is 80 and the road is a smooth trip for the 240 miles to Germany.

We arrived at our new place in a little village called Kindsbach, near Landstuhl about 7 o’clock on Wednesday afternoon. Again our GPS led us directly to the house without any other map or direction.
