Moving to and Living in Stuttgart, Germany.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a ski town in Germany about 2-3 hours drive from Stuttgart. Public transit to Garmisch is not good from Stuttgart, but there is a train and bus station there to take trips into Austria or other nearby towns. The center of town is quaint, surrounded by mountains with a main shopping street, all within walking... Continue Reading →
Stuttgarter Frühlingsfest is exactly the same as another Oktoberfest (earlier post), only the potential of being warm and possibly not raining is much greater during Spring Fest time than in October. It's a fun time, live music inside each tent and beers all around. The tent reservation process is just as hard, but in Stuttgart it... Continue Reading →
Dahn is not a city on anyone's list to visit when coming to Germany. When we mentioned we were headed there for the weekend, our Stuttgart friends had never even heard of it.

Soon after moving to Germany, I found out that a past colleague of mine in Hawaii lives in Zurich, Switzerland. Small world right? From Stuttgart to Zurich, the direct train is about 30-35 euros each way and takes 3 hours, or the drive is about 2 1/2 hours. We planned to meet in December for the Christmas... Continue Reading →
On this Thanksgiving we have much to be thankful for. Though we can't be there to enjoy it with you, we are wishing everyone a happy holiday with friends, family and pie. Of course we'll still have turkey with you in spirit (this turkey recipe is my fav). The Christmas market in Stuttgart is also... Continue Reading →
