Mom's Summer Visit

Looking back at the summer, I think the busiest and most active time we had was when my Mom visited us. We went to Heidelberg and took the tram all the way to the the top of the town, as well as touring the castle. We drove around the Black Forest, as well as walking around the oldest Monestary in Europe. We watched a thunderstorm from the top of the Radio Tower and wandered toured the palace of Ludwigsburg.

Summer Fest

Last Saturday Brad and I headed downtown to the Stuttgart Summerfest. We went to the flea market first and then headed over early to the Summerfest. The fest goes on all day but doesn't get crowded until after 6 p.m.. Brad and I lucked out and found a table right by a big pond and near one of the bands. Since it was a hot day, we were able to sit in the shade (of the table awning) and feel the breeze moving across the park. It was lovely.

Unfortunately Brad is sick. He's had a horrible cold with hot and cold flashes, aches and pains, and it's been going on two weeks. So this weekend we just took it easy and stayed at home.

My computer has also chosen to break. We think it's the power source because it won't even start or light up. One of the things that sucks about being overseas like this is it's hard to know where to go to get things looked at. Even if they did repair computers, would they have the parts for a HP computer we bought in the states? The only thing that worries me is I've decided to try my hand at writing a book, and the first 100 pages of the book are now inaccessible on my cold, dead computer...
