Brent's On Vacation

Brent finished up his work and we still had about a week left to explore together.  Somehow we got in our mind that we really should rent a car versus relying on train schedules and train destinations.  We had enough European peeps tell us we could handle it.

Most cars, at least the less expensive rental options, are manual transmissions.  This, in itself, was not a problem as both Brent and I can drive stick shifts.  The problem was we could not figure how to get that six speed into reverse!  I pulled out the French car manual and Brent Googled.  Once we knew how to reverse we were on our way.   And it was a gorgeous drive from France into western Italy.

Thank God for GPS in the car. We were able to set it for English and it made such a difference.  It took one less stress out of the adventure!
