Changes

I had a few people tell me this before my first solo-hitchhiking experience. This was my first mental block. And you know the image of a psycho-killer (''Qu'est-ce que c'est ?'') driver. I planned to hitchhike from [[Leipzig]] to [[Kraków|Krakow]] and started the day with a sign, a quick look at this wiki, and some big expectations. But due to a case of the scatter-brains and ego, I got off at the recommended site but walked along trying to find a better spot for myself. I asked for directions on how to get on the A14 highway but got directed toward the A38 highway instead. Increasingly tired, I settled for a place with some sort of proximity to some highway.

I tried the same location in Dresden again, and this time 15 minutes in I had a ride halfway to the German/Polish border. A succession of signs led me through [[Wrocław|Wroclaw]], [[Katowice]] and [[Kraków|Krakow]]. At the rest stops, I waited no more than 5 minutes for the next ride. Overall, the day was glorious...I was speeding down the autobahn, talking to an owner of a quarry, a trucker, a state attorney, a couple and a leftist-magazine editor.
