German Laws!

When you arrive in Germany you have 6 months to change over your driver's license. I am a bit past that but what can you do, I have been busy. So yesterday, I went to the office to find out what needed to be done to get a German DL as it varies from state to state. Before I knew what hit me they started the process of getting me a german DL. Now normally this wouldn't be a problem. However, they take your American DL and then you can not drive until you have a German one. To drive without it is a FELONY. Given the number of encounters I have had with the German Politzei, I won't be driving for a while. With a MN license I need to pass a written exam in order to get my German DL. I can't even take the test for 4 weeks. Ugh....german law, don't ya just love it?

Meo also had his first trip outdoors today. He did very well and came back home when I called him. He also went into a neighbors apartment but hopefully they didn't notice!

Well, that is all for now, I am off to Dresden today. I have a meeting there for work. Since I can't drive there I need to take a 6 hour train ride. Woohoo!
