Thank you Mr. Snowplow man

Things I learned today:
Never trust the sides of roads. They may look like they are part of the road, but in fact they are a 5 foot ditch filled with powder snow. And if you try to drive on it, your car will sink down and not be able to go anywhere.

Lesson two. When stranded at the end of a road in the middle of no where, don't panic. A nice man will sense that you are in trouble and drive his HUGE snow plow down your very road. Then hook your car (which is currently at a 45 degree angle - about to topple on it's side) up to his HUGE snowplow and pull your car out of the ditch.

Lesson three. It's better to put your car in neutral when you are being pulled out of ditch rather than leave it in park.

I also learned the phrase "acabar de" it means nothing but puts verbs in past tense. Like for instance. "Acabo de conducir mi coche into a ditch." see? Oh Spanish class...
