SHOP instead of WORK!!!

This weekend ended on a high note, but started off with a bad note!!! hahaha.
On Friday, I had a training for teaching courses over the internet. We left at 12:30pm for my 3pm training. It only takes 45mins to get there....to Stuttgart. We were going to head there to shop around and be in the town to explore. But instead, we explored the AUTOBAHN HIGHWAY!!! We were at a complete stop. Not moving for a long time when we got to the highway. We moved a bit, but not enough. We waited and waited and still, like everyone else, stopped to see the fields and other cars. There was a huge accident in the tunnel where we were headed. It is a major entrance and exit out of that town so many people were not able to get in or out. When we did start moving, we decided to go off road....4 by 4ing. whoohooo...but still, the cars were going way to slow for me to get to my training. First ever, missed a training. What can I do? I couldn't fly there. What a bummer. So instead, we started to head towards Jan's parents place. We ended up going to a larger town to shop a bit. It basically took us 5 hours to get there, when it only should have taken about an hour and a half. The accident really stalled our time. NEVER, EVER go on the AUTOBAHN HIGHWAY!!! It's just not worth it. Just go up and down the mountain even if it takes an extra 15 mins.
Perhaps they will have another training soon. I guess it just stalls me for working for that company a little longer. Oh well, I have this other company. I start tomorrow. Whoohooo. Kind of nervous, but I'm sure i'll be fine.
So we spent the weekend at Jan's parents place. It is always nice and peaceful. Last night, it was warm and we went for a walk around his own. I was star gazing a lot and say Orion's belt and other stars that were out. I did have the classic winter, hot, wine that Europeans have...but the German way and probably that made me not sleep at all. Yikes. I should have that again. hehee.
Anyhow, heading back home through the mountains this time. I hope we will see snow. :) That would be nice.
Happy Remembrance Day Weekend!
