Stuttgart

Today we had a relaxing morning then went out to spy on the Christmas markets for lunch! Stuttgart is not the prettiest city, but the Christmas market was fun to wander through they had lots if vegan options - so many we had to pick and choose what we wanted! We ended up getting some spinach spatzle, vegan currywurst, and a ginormous germknödel (yeasted dumpling) with plum filling and vanilla pistachio sauce. It was so much food! The gerknödel was WAY bigger than we thought it would be. Really We thought the portions of everything would be way smaller! But it was all really tasty! I also found a Holunder cranberry punch which was tart and tasty while Raymond had a really good apple cinnamon one.

After eating all the food we headed out to the outskirts of the city to Bad Cannstatt as there was a market there…only it was not much of a market! Like three stands, though there were some nice lights on the Main Street. We did find a record shop that had cheap records and I ended up getting a bunch - there were bins that were outside 1€ each or 10 for 5€…I had more than 10 and whittled it down to 11, but I couldn’t give up another one so said that’s fine. The people working there were super nice. There were a couple guys hanging out and we talked records for a bit and they gave me my 11 records for 5€! Now I have new music to listen to when I get home :) So I was glad we ventured out there even if the Christmas market wasn’t a win.Baca lagi
