I made it!

I left my house at 1pm on Wednesday, went to Red Wing where Al(Kelli's) dad drove me to the Minneapolis airport at 4:20. I took off for Amsterdam at 7:40pm and arrived 8hours later. So 1020 their time. It was cloudy and rainy. This is a picture from the walk way in Amsterdam on my way to my plane to Stuttgart.
In the airport they had chocolate shops everywhere! HUGE chunks of chocolate behind me. I am looking good for only 45min. of sleep.
The potties in Amsterdam are tiny!
I had to stop at a Coffee Cafe while waiting for my plane. I ordered an espresso. Still bitter and tasting it 30min later even with the sugar and cream.
In Stuttgart at 2pm, Lisa and the kids were waiting. We went to their home(I survived the autoband) in Ditzingen and played in the backyard.

Then I needed a snack so we walked to the bakery for a real pretzel and then to play at the park.
Then I needed a long shower.

Hi Micki! I'm glad to see you made it safely to Germany. Chocolate everywhere? No one has mentioned that important detail about Germany to me before!
