[The car-ride is an adventure. He's ridden in worse (and frankly, in a world where trench warfare exists, he's not sure he can bring himself to complain about being cramped) but they get to their destination without much fuss, but as soon as they're parked he clambers out of the vehicle somewhat stiffly and stretches.]
This is beautiful country.
[He says that while leaning on the roof of the car, fingers laced. He looks thoughtful about it. There is little of this natural beauty left near his home. Strafing raids and bombs leveled much of it to waste, and warfare ruined the rest. Every place has its history - he doubts this place is without its own trials - but there is no fresh evidence of mortars and gunfire. It's peaceful.]
