Week 3

Well, its been a good week in Stuttgart. I've been busy exploring the city and just enjoying the beautiful weather. I went to a number of museums (3, the number is 3), visited churches and walked most of the garden paths of the city.

Funny story regarding the churches, I went to catholic mass on Sunday and found out after about 15 minutes that it was in Portugese. It was still very interesting, and I believe I still got a lot out of it, I just wish I could have followed it better.

Stuttgart lies in a valley, with a river running through it and is maybe a little bigger than topeka. I walked to a hill on the eastern edge of the city and watched the sun go down as the palace and bridges began to light up. The church steeples all began to peel out their evening bells I found it was one of those moments when one finds the world to be just about perfect. The city is more alive and vibrant than any of the places I've been so far. This could be attributed to the gorgeous weather, but I think it is a little something more.

I will be camping for the next week in the Black forrest, so don't be alarmed if it takes me to long contact you all again. I will try to be safe as I head there.
Deep regards for you all,
-Sam

  1. Portuguese mass huh? Sounds awesome, the way you described the sunset over the town. Kill a bear for me while your camping.
