It's a small world and a small car
My friend Jerry (also a retired librarian) and her husband are on a three month tour of Europe, in a little car stopping along the way for a few days to sight see. They posted a blog to keep friends and family informed. I believe they are doing France, Spain, Italy, and are now in Germany. I think they started about April 24. On May 29, five weeks into the trip, her husband posted the following:- #1-the french yell at you when you get in their way---the italians yell at you before you get in their way--and the germans just go 120 mph so you never get in their way
#2 the french never smile at americans
#3 the french have small dogs --germans have big dogs
#4 there are a lot of churches in europe
#5 the catholics spend more money on their churches than the lutherans
#6 all churches are cool and quiet and a good place to sit
#7 churches are usually in the center of the town and are still in the center of their lives---maybe we should do that---
#8 three months is a long time
#9 you never hit your thumb if you don't have a hammer
#10 and you never say never

Jerry in Dinkelsbuhl, Germany. They ran into their Michigan mail carrier at Harburg Castle in Germany. It really is a small world, isn’t it? And a small car.
We met in Boston at a Medical Library Association meeting in 1988, and have kept in touch. Last saw each other in 1994.
