Car Talk

Heading out of Amsterdam, the Netherlands....

Now, about those "quadracylces that I spoke of yesterday – they are these measly little things that look like a cardboard box on wheels, usually painted a mettalic grey (or another equally depressing color).  Too small to be a car, too big to be a bicycle, it is a "vehicle" in the loosest sense of the word, with an amazing identity crisis.  But hey, you can park them in about the same amount of space as a garbage can.  They make Smart cars look like Cadillacs..

I think, though, that I'd rather not shell out for such a contraption.

Oh, and I mentioned the vehicles that looked like they stepped out of a Star Wars set.  That would be called the "Microlino."  Talk about small... try stacking this up against an American Ford F-150!  I think you could fit four of them in the bed of that pickup!

Over the next few days, my words will be written from the Rhine River, as we continue on to the Continent.  To all of you who have been reading and sharing my thoughts, thank you for taking the time to do this!  Click on and become a follower  – in that way you'll not miss out on my musings.
