I think I’ve drunk more beer this week in Germany than I would normally do in six months.  It’s just so good.  Something about Germany just forces you to drink enormous glasses of the stuff.

I’m near Stuttgart this week, for work.  Once I finish up tomorrow night, I’m taking a few days off before coming back home.  Might as well get a bit of sightseeing in on the company’s tab (well they paid the airfare to get here).

I got here on Saturday and met some colleagues for a trip to Tubingen for some dinner.  It was really quaint in the old part of the town, and dinner was good, involving of course sausages, sauerkraut and beer.

Took a walking tour in Stuttgart on Sunday, which included the treat of climbing about 300 steps to the top of the Stiftskirche, which is apparently only open for this a few days each year.

Finished the weekend off with another dinner, in Stuttgart, again involving a decent amount of beer, plus schnitzel.
