As I pulled up to our house, I noticed Shanna's SUV was still parked in the street. When I opened the door to the house, Shanna came from around the corner. Turns out that she had placed her key ring in the car, accidentally hit the "lock" button on the door, and she closed the door so she could scrape the ice off. With her keys locked in the car, along with her phone, all she could do was sit outside and wait for me. Normally she would have had to wait about 15 minutes, but because I went to the grocery store, she was sitting outside for an hour and a half.
We've had ADAC since we got here, and it's more than paid for itself. It's the German version of AAA back in the states. I called them, told them what was going on, and they sent someone out. When he arrived, I noticed a van behind him that said SWR. I knew that was the local German news station, but didn't think they were together. Turns out, they were. When the ADAC guy parked, the van did too and three guys got out. One had a big camera, the other a boom mic, and the third was the reporter. The ADAC guy told us they were following him around all day filming a documentary, and asked if we minded them filming. We said sure, and they proceeded to film the entire experience. I had been at work all night, and had seriously considered changing into comfy pajamas before the ADAC guy arrived. Now I was glad I was still in work clothes!
Every few days I've gone to SWR's website and searched for ADAC. Finally, the video showed up a few days ago.
So, without further ado, here is Shanna & my's segment on German news.
The next post will be a normal travel one. This weekend we're heading to Salzburg, Austria, for their Christmas Market. Next weekend we're flying to Copenhagen, Denmark, for theirs. But for now...enjoy the ADAC guy unlocking our SUV!
