Several years ago Virginia and I had rented a car in Europe while on vacation. One time we arrived in Karlsruhe, Germany on a Sunday. Our hotel was in a small suburb of the town. All the stores were closed, but a nearby Police station was open. Without hesitation I went inside and found a very friendly policeman who spoke English. I told him what we were looking for and immediately he stopped what he was doing and said, "Follow me in my patrol car". He led us straight to the hotel about 5 miles from his office.
The small suburban town was celebrating their 900th anniversary of the founding of the town with a huge parade. Our room was right on the parade route, and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the parade from our ground floor room in the small hotel.
