Stadtmauer, An Der Schorndorf

... cute little animals and feast on them, well at least I was. So, coming back from the Volksfest, the guard on duty spoke English. Turns out, it's a club where they raise little animals. So I asked if they ate them. His jaw almost dropped, "no!" So no, they don't eat the little animals. They show the little animals and have club meetings and events where they eat large animals that are decidedly not raised there. It's a Thumper safe zone.<br>

... lustig und entspannend.<br>Zum Schluss sind wir in Urspring noch zum Abendessen eingekehrt.<br>Katja geht brav in ihren Kindi, kommt kurz zum Mittagessen und ist dann meistens nicht mehr viel zu sehen - immer unterwegs.<br>Mati hat in Deutsch endlich mal nicht die uralt Schinken zu lesen bekommen. Sie behandeln "Das Parfüm", was er in glaube ich drei Tagen ausgelesen hat. Jetzt fährt ...

... das, obwohl ich noch nicht einmal die Hälfte des Liedes gespielt hatte! Wahnsinn! Das war ein wirklich unbeschreibliches Gefühl für mich, obwohl ich von mir selbst nicht behaupten kann, dass ich so etwas selten erlebe. Frau Kolbs Klasse hat hervorragend mitgemacht. Allerdings fand ich es sehr schade, dass die Zeit nicht gereicht hat, um tiefgehende Gespräche mit den Schülern zu führen.<br><br>Einen Abend zuvor nahm sich Frau Kolb die ...

... it was delicious. I must say there were more kids at this Oktoberfest then at the one in Munich and trhere were many 15 year olds drinking up a storm! They can all drink better then me Im sure...but we did see one of them yarp his brains out! Awesome!<br><br>Without much else to do in Stuttgart we decided to head back to Nuremburg and catch a hockey game before our departure to Vienna.

... fault because I'd ask for one and hold up my index finger. Inevitably, we'd get two. But the later is, he held on to one phrase in particular from the head start class, "ich aus," me too - cheater! <br><br>We wanted to get a view of the city and had heard of the state tomb up on a hill. The helpful guide listed the train and bus routes to take, but not the stop. To make a long story short, we're on this bus ride through the countryside ...

... and the gardens are really nice. I think the Basel zoo is better as far as animals go, but this one isn't bad for variety. I did not like the small areas where the animals are kept though. It seemed much too small for large wild animals.<br><br>After the zoo we walked around the city center and stopped in a beer garden for a little relaxation. We managed to walk around the New Palace and Palace Square and then went to the ...

After a night on the plane and not much sleep, we arrived in Frankfurt. At the airport we found a storage place for our luggage at a cost of 5 &#8364; per bag per 24 hours. We now could travel with very little luggage for the next two days. What a treat! Of course Dave wasn't thinking and forgot his razor.<br><br>We hurried to the train station that is at the airport and caught a fast train to Stuttgart. We needed to ...

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.

Well Schorndorf is the cutest lil German town! The city center is really cool, with its kind of old style (medival!) and the cobblestone streets with the top of the church jus peeking over in the background! My cousins took me to a small museum which used to be the home of the founder of the ...
