Dedicated to those who sometimes struggle with their Christmas spirit.
When I rented this little Punto in Vienna, the grumpy old guy behind the counter told me that I’m too young to be driving across Europe on my own. He warned me that bad things can happen to a girl on her own. I named him Mean Grandpa.
I give everyone nicknames because I can never remember their real ones. Mean Grandpa kept calling me Beatrice. It’s Beatrix. Trix if I like you.

I was using the GPS on my phone but it ran out of power and I must have left my charger in Vienna. Now I’m driving on pure instinct, searching desperately for shelter at one of those fancy ASFiNAG rest stops scattered across Austria.

A brutal gust of wind blows my little Punto across the center line. This is getting serious. I have to get
