A Day Late And A Tooth Short

We were supposed to leave for Garmisch-Partenkirchen early on Saturday morning. Things don't always go according to plan. Poor Russ was struck down with an awful toothache late Friday night, and unfortunately, it got worse as the hours went by. Luckily, a local dentist was kind enough to fit him in for an x-ray (and hopefully a painkiller until the repairs could be made). Quicker than you could say "Holy Cow! What just happened?", Russ found himself on the receiving end of the quickest root canal known to man. Armed with antibiotics, a temporary filling, and a decent nights sleep, we took off for Bavaria early Sunday morning. It wasn't long until the sun started peeking through. Things are looking up... Once into Germany, it was nothing but blue skies all the way. Ahhhhh. Now that's more like it! After 7 1/2 hours on the road, we were all a little bit beat. After a few minutes of relaxing, we were off to explore the lodge and catch up with friends. I'll share some interesting things that we saw along our journey here today... The first video is a self cleaning toilet seat where we stopped for lunch. I know, it's strange to video something in the bathroom, but seriously...how cool is this? The second is us on the Autobahn. We were doing 80, and these cars (and lots others) passed us like we were crawling. I'm OK with the sports cars doing this, but a station wagon? I'm insulted!
