Kummerspeck

Deutschland!!! After a race to find the right metro and 2 long train rides, we finally arrived in Stuttgart, Germany. After wandering around the train station, we finally found Ina, Caroline's friend from YWAM. So far it has been great. Ina's family is so sweet and her house is precious! It's been a bit of a shock not being able to speak the language and I keep finding myself trying to speak French. Last night, after eating home  made pizza, Ina's family took us to a hot spring. It was so cool! There were four or five different pools that are heated by natural springs. There were also a few different saunas that were steaming hot. It was rainy today so we had to alter our plans slightly. First, Ina took us to downtown Pfullingen (her hometown) and showed us the cute buildings around the town.








Afterwards, we drove into the neighboring town of Reutlinger to see some more sites and to have a traditional German dinner. We visited a church, saw the world's smallest street and went to Grim's Fairy Tale museum. Again, I was blown away by the beauty of the architecture. We met some of Ina' friends for dinner for a typical dinner. We shared schnitzel which of course was fabulous because it was fried then we came back and feasted on German chocolate. What a great way to end a great day!
