... The fair grounds are literally right off of the train station for Bad Canstatt. It would be hard to get lost. Being a rainy Friday, we were able to find a seat in a beer tent too. It did take us awhile to try to decipher the reservation postings and finally search through our burgeoning vocabulary for "ist hier frei?" Apparently for dinner you have to think a year in advance, which obviously wasn't us. But for a "weekday" lunch, we were in ...

... und die Geduld, um mir Teilzeittourist ihre Heimatstadt zu zeigen. Total überwältig war ich allerdings am Wartberg, als wir die abendliche Aussicht über Heilbronn genießen konnten. Nach der hochinteressanten abendlichen Stadtrundfahrt gab es für mich einen Gaumenschmaus mit traditionellen schwäbsichen Spezialitäten. Und eines habe ich an diesem Abend hinzugelernt: Spätzle schmecken nirgendwo besser als im Schwoobeländle, heiligs Blechle.

... called and yes, he will buy the car back from us and at a fair price, no a great price! <br><br>Being late in the day we will take it to him on Tuesday. Joe will come over with the ownership papers and we can do the deal without him. It is just great.<br><br>We say good-bye to Joe as he is busy at work before he goes on holidays with his children. It is hard to say good-bye to such a kind, helpful and ...

We attended a big birthday party this weekend in Stuttgart. It was my boyfriend's grandfather's (Opa, as I now know him) 80th birthday. We celebrated with the entire family in a nice little restaurant in a small town near Stuttgart. I have no idea the name of either of those places.<br><br>We had some free time to explore Stuttgart on Saturday morning so we went to the Wilhelma Zoological and Botanical Gardens. It is a massive ...

Caught a night train from Vienna and arrived in Stuttgardt in the morning. Had a great day wandering and seeing the sights. Yet another map from yet another tourist info place. More statues and old buildings (Boring right? Not by a long shot). Still walking around wide-eyed like kids at Disneyland.

Boarding Busabout for the first time in Munich, I have stopped over in Stuttgart for the last two days. The busabout accomadations in Paris were all full. The French Open is going on in Paris and soon after that the Tour de France; It turned out to be a nice two days in Stuttgart. Yesterday, I took a walk down to the city center. In the center I saw my first "baskers ...

... us. I can't even explain how wonderful it was to see someone from home. Or how great it is to speak English to someone other than each other :) If I forget to say it later, thanks Karl. It was great to spend the week with you. (C) Not that Karl is Gufman, but we haven´t waited for anyone for so long, it seemed like forever and could have been Gufman. Thankfully, the Unc showed up, with Big Dan in the car.

... a building where they put the car's shell together. They make 2000 cars a day at this plant: C-class, E-class, and the S-class. The A- and B- class cars and all trucks are made in one of their other plants. (The A-class is tiny and the brand-new B-class is not much bigger. Mercedes also owns Smarte Car, which is a very tiny 2-seater that we saw all over London and see a lot here. It is made in France.) The line we watched was making the C-class sedans and coupes. The welding ...
