The futball/soccer game today was a bit of a disappointment - we ended up losing 11-1. Kudos, however, to Kyle L for scoring our only goal! It was hard fought on both sides, and I was glad to see even afterwards people from both teams interacting with each other and just having a good time kicking the ball around. That's what this trip is all about anyway - not just winning or losing.
Stuttgart was, like most everything else here, very old and very beautiful. The Mercedes-Benz Museum was very interesting and we were able to learn about everything from the first power engine, to decorated buses in Buenos Aires, to truck racing with the aid of our audio headsets. Much shopping was to be had by some, others just wandered around the town enjoying the old building and the people watching. I am also happy to report that everyone was where they were supposed to be at the correct times today...and some were even early!
Quite a few different groups are planning to go to the discotheque tonight - hopefully someone who does will be able to report on that later. I, on the other hand, am going with my German friend Nici to a party that her English class is having. She said she has a friend that spent a year in America who is going to be there tonight and really wants to meet me. Hopefully I don't disappoint!
