Another Deutchland update
Yesterday we along with Martin, Simone and Lea headed to Lake Konstanz. We walked around the shops and had lunch at a Chinese restaurant they like. The food was very good. Afterward we took a ferry to Meersburg. Unfortunately, it was hazy so we couldn't see the Alps. We got yummy ice cream right when we got to the island. There was one cone called a Rambo and it was huge. I had never seen a cone that big. Lea tasted her first ice cream and she really liked it. We walked around the area and up to a castle. It is amazing how old things are here. Cobblestone streets kept Lea moving and she liked that in her stroller. We eventually took the ferry back and headed back to Stefan and Sandra's. Lea did very well on her first day trip.
When we got home Stefan was making spaghetti for dinner. Very good!
Today we visited the Mercedes museum. That was pretty cool. It wasn't just about cars--there was a lot of history, too. You could probably spend all day there. We got a pic of the pope mobile. Apparently Arnold's car was there, too. But I missed it.
After the museum, Curt and Martin headed to the Italy/USA (oo s ah) game, Simone and Lea went home and Stefan, Sandra, Markus and I headed to the plaza. We had lunch at a nice little cafe, then on the hunt for T-shirts. Talk about a pain! But I got enough after going to many stores. We gave our postcards to the "special" post office on the plaza that will stamp the postcards with a World Cup stamp. Eventually we met up with Giesela. The 5 of us had dinner at a cool Italian restaurant. Afterward we went to the TV tower to look over Stuttgart. That was very cool! On the observation deck they had a map to show you where everything was out there and tell you how far away the surrounding cities are.
Now we are home. Curt and Martin should be heading home from the match. The game was tied 1-1. My bag is pretty much packed to head to Amsterdam next.

I thought of Curt today because I thought he and Curt went to the game. He must have brought the U.S. good luck since they tied!
The Pope mobile! Wait until Casey hears that!
