We got our license!

The street signs can seem a little intimidating at first. When I first started studying for the test I was so worried that I wasn't going to remember any of the signs. But really they aren't too different from the U.S.
The speed limit sign is hands down the easiest to deal with. It's just a round sign, with a red circle, and a number. The only thing you really need to remember is that it's not mph. 


While I was traveling to my new home, I spent most of the five hour bus ride looking out the window. One thing that really caught my attention was that we continuously passed these large blue signs on the right side of the road that said Ausfahrt.
 
 
  I thought this must big a really big city for us to have been passing it for hours now! But guess what it's not a city. This sign means EXIT. 
Even the Autobahn has a special sign. Once you've been on the Autobahn you'll see that the sign depicts the Autobahn really well. 

My favorite sign here (I think because I just like saying it) is this one:





It means one way street!

So this post is going to be short and sweet. Just something that I forgot to mention that we did last year, but I thought it was pretty cool...
