Germany day 3

Aug 6th
Today we all woke up early and had some coffee and relaxed at the house for a bit. When we were all dressed and ready for the day we took the train from Will's house to Stuttgart.When we first arrived at the train station in Stuttgart we saw a Starbucks that had free wifi, so we went in and got a drink and uploaded pictures to my laptop. The Starbucks in Germany are exactly the same as the ones in the US, except for fewer menu options. After Starbucks we ventured out into the city. Stuttgart was a very cool city. It was large and modern with old buildings as well. We spent a lot of our time looking in souvenir shops. For lunch we ate at a cute little cafe restaurant. Heather and I ordered a salad and pizza to share. The pizza was good and very similar to American pizza. I was curious to see the difference since Brazilian pizza is very different from American Pizza. The one thing that is different for sure is that you have to buy water at all restaurants. The bring you a large bottle of water, there isn't an option to get it from the tap, although their tap water is some of the cleanest and best in the world. So that is definitely an extra expense to consider when you drink as much water as I do. After lunch we walked around the city's open square, where there were old buildings and fountains. There was one big fountain where people were swimming in their clothes because it was so hot and sunny out. Heather and I took off our sandals and went in to get our legs wet. From Here we meandered through the square taking lots of pictures, and ended up at an outside bar where we all got a beer. After this we went to more shops and walked around, we came upon a second Starbucks and I was finally able to skype Ryan. Which had been hard before because of the time difference. It was nice being able to see his face, although the connection on my end was bad and he couldn't see me. After this the day had passed and we went to the train station to buy our tickets to Amsterdam for Sunday. Will went to the counter with us so he could help with any language barriers, although the guy at the ticket window knew English very well. We got out ticket from Stuttgart to Amsterdam on sunday,and then a returning ticket from Amsterdam to giessen where our family lives for tuesday. The man at the ticket window was funny, and was laughing at us because we told him the first German words we learned were einfarht and ausfarht. he wanted to know why we needed to know those words, and we told him we didnt, we just liked that they had the word fart in it.From here we all took the train back to Wilfreds town and had dinner at a restaurant in a hotel. Heather and I shared a meal of vegetables, and a potato pancake. It was delicious. After dinner we made our way back home and heather and I stayed up for a bit talking before passing out.
