Goot morgan!!!  We are in our last few hours of being in Germany.  I am feeling bittersweet about this due to several reasons but it's time to come home.  The weather here has been perfect now and I'm really disappointed about leaving it behind but hopefully, it won't be too bad when I get back to the states. 

This being the last day I'm here in Stuttgart, I look back fondly and remember what I've done and places I've seen and different countries I've been fortunate to visit and experience.

Including Germany, I have visited 8 countries:
Germany
France - several times
Luxembourg
Belgium
Netherlands
Switzerland
Austria
Italy

Cities I've visited:
Stuttgart
Frankfurt
Heidelberg
Baden Baden
Freiberg
Konstanz
Garmisch
Nuremberg
Also about 12 "smaller" towns that tend to blend together in Germany but still beautiful
Brussels
Luxembourg
Amsterdam
Paris
Colmar
Strasbourg
Gemeinde Reutte
Neuhausen am Rheinfall
Lake Como
Milan
Venice

While I may not have been able to hit all that I wanted to, I know I've been fortunate to be able to see these amazing sights, visit some very historical places and share many, many pictures with all of my friends on Facebook. It's been a great time and I've made friends and impacts here that if ever the need arises, I can always contact. I've visited castles, castle ruins, theme parks, festivals, hiked in the Black Forest and driven all over Europe and rode the high speed trains. While I shall miss Europe, the lifestyle it projects and many other wonderful things, too many to name individually, I am more than ready to be coming home. I need to feel the good ole U.S.A. and all it has because I've been away for a long time. It's time to start another phase in my life.
