THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD TRIP – IN EUROPE

IN 1888, Bertha Benz took her two teenage sons, climbed into one of her husband Karl’s newly-created automobiles, and set off on a 66 mile journey through the German countryside. Some said she did it to visit her mother. More likely, she wanted to prove the value of her husband’s invention. Either way, it was the first long distance excursion in a car. Karl Benz may have invented the automobile, but Bertha invented the road trip! And there’s no better time for a European road trip than Autumn. As the summer crowds thin out, the air gets a little crisper, the sky a little more blue, and the turning of the leaves paints it all in brilliant hues of red and gold. If Germany is your destination, you could take Bertha’s path through Baden, just south of Frankfurt. Explore the ruins of Heidelberg

Take a me- andering drive down the coast from Naples, winding past Mt. Vesuvius to the sunny Amalfi Coast and some of the most stunning Mediter- ranean landscapes in Europe. Taking the kids to Paris? Consider heading 30 miles east to Cercy-La-Chapelle, a town of

storybook charm also known as the Venice of Brie. The hotels are a little less expensive, and it’s just a 15 minute drive to Disneyland.
