Okay day three, so after our now usual, overly delicious breakfast (which seems to get larger everyday) we departed for Hohenzollern Castle. It rests on top of a hill and is quite a climb to get to. But I think that everything in Stuttgart that is worth seeing is a climb. So I'm exiting the bus an climbing up the stairs and losing all my breath because I am really out of shape (but I'm not sure I have ever really been in shape) and I see this >

Wow |
absolutely amazing! where in Louisville, Kentucky can I see something like this? Answer to self Versailles but that's a crap castle compared to this one. This one is old and It's fancy and it's everything a castle should be. From the castle you can really see the countryside. It's just amazing and whoever owns this place is a fool to let me come trod around inside of it. Well I toured around for a couple of hours and had a little picnic and really threes not much else to say. A Castle is just a really cool thing and here are some more pictures from it.

I left the castle and wen to Tübingen, which is where Jan's mother grew up and is refereed to as a university town because of the well university that is there. It's a beautiful town,like all the towns in Germany that I've been to, with and exceptionally beautiful park. I think that if you go to the park in Germany you must either be in large group, like I was, or with a girl or guy with you because I really think that going to the park in Germany is just a way to either show off how popular you are or how lucky you are to not be single. Here's a picture of the town from the park and the river that surrounds it.

The Town |
After leaving the park to walk through the city I got to the market place and town square where the market was and a rather large band of traditional Germans playing their brass instruments. It was alright I mean they were loud and German, eh. picture of the town square kind of and it's town hall.

SO quickly losing interest in that I headed of to where the real action was, the Cathedral of Tubinger which was sadly being repaired on the outside and so i have no picture of it. but here's what thin inside looked like....

After the Cathedral I left but not before I snagged this picture with the fam on top of the bridge overlooking the river and the park that it surrounds.

I traveled back home ate another amazing mean of Spatzle which is pronounce SCHPATZLER because it is a Schwabian dish. Sorry Lana and Jenna you were both wrong. I learned so much today but the most import thing I learned is that I cannot have more than a 1/4 a teaspoon of "Cherry Water"
My German tutor that I had before we went to Germany is American but went to school there in Tübingen. Cool to see pics of it. Everything looks gorgeous. Don't you love it?!
