Stuttgart (Germany)

Got here early in the afternoon - nice opportunity for some fun. This was the first time that I have been able to leave the airport. We rode on a bus to the Kelley Hotel (or "Barracks") in Moehringen.  Passed by the Daimler Chrysler headquarters during our drive. Later took a train from Landhaus to Charlottenplatz (1830L). It was already dark, but there was a lot of activity in the town square. Gary had found some nice pubs in previous visits, so we checked them out. We had dinner in a restaurant overlooking a narrow street - good beer and brats. Had fun with the guys walking around the city. We just missed a huge demonstration that got out of hand - fire hoses and lots of police. Decided to catch the train from there (Schlossplatz) back to Landhaus before we became a part of of the action (2300L)...
