After my first day in Stuttgart, I can say that Germany has been incredibly friendly, welcoming and organized. The public transportation is far beyond what we have back in indy. Being able to take a train back to the hotel has been a unique experience, and so far a majority of the locals we’ve run into have been more than happy to help if we need pointed in the right direction. The city is cleaner than any I’ve seen in the states, and the local culture seems rich after hearing all of what the tour guide had to show us.
