Hohenpark

After the Porsche Museum, we took the train a few stops down to Hohen Park. We stopped at a quaint little restaurant in the park where they served Greek food and played American Blues music. So cool! We talked at length to the owner and a couple of German patrons. We were able to leave them witnessing tracts in German, and they gladly accepted them.
After lunch, we walked to a tower on a high hill and got to see a beautiful panorama of the city. The tower is constructed of cables and is built to sway in the wind. It was a windy day so I took a video of the swaying. It challenged my fear of open heights...but I survived and didn't even get dizzy.
We then made the decision to walk the 3.5 km to the city center where we were meeting a former colleague for dinner. He and his wife moved to Stuttgart 2 years ago. It was great to see them and learn about their lives in Germany.
The 3.5 km walk was eclectic...it took us through some beautiful parks with wonderful architecture and some sketchy neighborhoods. Fun fact: Germany has rats in their garbage, too!Read more
