Hotel Rosenau Esslingen am Neckar

... beer is by far the cheapest drink.<br><br>The rest of the grounds had a state fair without the animal stalls and smells. The rides cost upwards of &#8364;5, about $7.50 a ride! Some of them were pretty cool looking though, not just your average bumper cars and octopus. Think upside down and spinning that would cover most. Must be fun after the beer tent! The food selection was fun to peruse, crepes, chocolate covered fruits, lots of meat in ...

Hallo Tonia,<br>wir freuen uns, dass Du Dich so gut eingelebt hast und so viele nette Leute kennengelernt hast.<br>Hoffentlich klappt alles weiterhin wie am Schnürchen. Deine Berichte sind wirklich interessant und lese sie mit Begeisterung. <br>Uns geht es auch gut. Zur Zeit ist es etwas stressig. Der Garten nimmt viel Zeit in Anspruch, von der Obstwiese in Amstetten ganz zu schweigen ...

... als den Faden zu verlieren während der Vorstellung kann ich auch nicht. So übermannte mich das immergleiche Gefühl der Neugier und Spannung, als ich das Klassenzimmer betrat. Alles lief nach Plan ... bis ich die ersten Töne zu Mainecoon erklingen ließ. Zunächst waren natürlich alle Schüler darauf gespannt, wie sich dieser Song anhört. So weit, so gut. Nachdem die erste Strophe vorbei war, begannen die Schüler lauthals zu klatschen ...

... the first night but had to leave since it was the site of Stuttgarts Oktoberfest. We got a hotel room outside of town and decided to enjoy a lil more Oktoberfestivities! This time we didn't join a beer tent but decided to eat our way around. We got Sausuage in a currysauce, Beavertail Pizza, Corn on the Cob and Smoked Salmon sandwiches. It was fun since everything had a twist to it ...

Haven't been wanting to get out of bed in the morning, this is a good sign. The up and at 'em, hungry and awake at o'dark thirty side effect of jet lag is disappaiting. So long, farewell, hope not to see you for awhile. So what to do with our first awake and alert weekend? Explore!<br><br>We have a pass for 3 days of unlimited exploring around Stuttgart. (ie. We can get lost as many times as needed, see whatever we happen upon, and it'll ...

... of the Mercedesturm to get a nice view of the city, for free!<br><br>On our drive back we spotted a castle ruin high above the autobahn and tried to find it. We climbed up a steep and winding hill through wine fields to the castle gates, which were locked. A sign posted on the gates stated that the castle is private property and trespassers will be fined. Unfortunately this is the only thing I took pictures of from our entire trip.

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.

... I could make 10 euro an hour. Maybe next trip. We headed home then and enjoyed some ordered food, all that walking, we deserved it! PS: Tonight we booked our hostel beds at Saint-Etienne - Les Enchands. We´ll be there on the 23rd of July. For those not in the know that is the finishing point for one of the stages of the Tour de France! We tried to book in Narronne on the French Riviera but everything is booked already.

... it with you, but I'm afraid I can only leave you in the state I am...somewhere in between. And as I have said before, just because I am feeling this way does not mean that I don't love all of you and that you do not play a significant role in my life...it is not you i'm worried about coming back to, well maybe a little, it is America, the customs and ways of America, it is the fact of leaving people here. Sending much love, Britt
