(This was written at the airport but I couldn't post until we got to Friedrichshafen)
The night was long, the plane was full, but we made it safely to Germany. It was the most beautiful sight coming into Stuttgart. The hilly mountains, covered with dark pines, were cut into by small villages of red-roofed houses in cream, gold and white. The low clouds nestled in the ravines. It was out of a picture book.
As we approached Stuttgart, the houses and apartment buildings increased, then the factories with their smoke stacks poking through the clouds.
The airport is quiet, the people are quiet—a nice change from America. We are waiting for the other group of WU students coming from their connecting flight from London. Then it’s on to the train heading to Friedrichshafen.
I do have to say that I had a very enjoyable time watching people. My favorite thing was all the really cool boots that the women are wearing. And I love boots! I think I will have to buy me a pair sometime this trip. The European fashion is great—skinny jeans, boots, leather, black…chic.
