 Here are the guys we came to Germany to see. Roland and Ronnie were living in the US when we met them several years ago. Now they are in Stuttgart! |
 Stuttgart has a number of beautiful buildings and this is just one of them. |
 We spent lot of time that weekend in the Christmas markets of three different towns. They are all done up and the food and wares for sale are awesome. |
 They light up the downtown area for each Christmas Market. I had the best saut�ed mushrooms and cinnamon and sugar cr�pes I have ever had! |
 We spent the second day in Heidelberg where Roland's mom lives. It's a very historical town and I am jealous of the frat boys there who live in Mansions overlooking the river. (not the one in this picture though!) |
 Impromptu ice skating rinks are set up in most European cities around Christmas. I didn't give it a try! |
 Little horses are just as cute when they whinny with a German accent! We didn't see any reindeer anywhere though. |
 We spent the night at Roland's childhood home up in the hills above Heidelberg. His mom doesn't speak English, but she's a hoot anyway ;) |
