Stewing around Stuttgart -- the last 2 days

One thing I’ve noticed about most of my recent posts is that I’ve said every city was ‘awesome’ and ‘so much fun’ and though I’m sure many of you might think I’m in cahoots with different tourist city offices in Europe I haven’t been joking, pretty much every city I’ve been too since the UK has been great and Stuttgart is no exception!
Yesterday I met up with Lynn and we hung out for the whole night which was very fun…we had lots to talk about! There’s a HUGE Christmas marketplace setup near the city square (Schlossplatz) and I spent hours and hours roaming around there. Many of the people had setup booths selling so many cool little things but I didn’t buy much there because most of them were too delicate to take back in my luggage, which is already stuffed to the point of exploding! Actually just as a side note I was jumping on my larger suitcase today to try and squish everything I’ve bought so far into it. Anyways back to Stuttgart, so yeah the marketplace was really cool and Lynn and I roamed around for a while and that was the day. Today I did my usual super-happy-fun sight seeing tour and covered all the main sites. I didn’t get a chance to go to the Mercedes or Porsche museums here which I guess kinda sucked but I’m not losing sleep over it. Anywho so yeah I went to tons of different tourist attractions and again spent lots of time in the markets, looking at things. They had lots of yummy things to eat there hahahaha! I also went on a slight shopping spree and am starting to worry about all the money I’ve spent here….but hey life goes on hehehe! Anyways so yeah that was today and that pretty much covers it. When I got back to the hotel I went to the gym (cause I desperately need to!) and also sat in the sauna for a while which was very relaxing. Tomorrow we head for Frankfurt.
