Stuttgart: Home of Mercedes-Benz Headquarters June 24th to 28th From Berlin, Meghan and I visited Stuttgart next. Meghan studied for one semester in Frane on an exchange a couple years ago, and one of her friends - Julia - lives in Stuttgart, so we went to visit her. We arrived in Stuttgart on Friday afternoon, and Julia met us at the train station. We went straight back to Julia's house as her and her boyfriend were having a big birthday party/BBQ that night a...

Berlin: A city where you will find every type of person June 22nd to 24th Meghan and I arrived in Berlin in the middle of the afternoon, and as always, our first destination in the city was the hostel to drop off our stuff.

Budapest: A Great Addition to our Trip! June 16th to 18th Our ninth country to visit was Hungary, where we spent a couple days in the city of Budapest. Budapest has quite an interesting history, having had many different countries take over control and being communist. Now, a democratic country, things are changing in the country, but you can still see many different influences throughout the city. We arrived in Budapest later afternoon, and went out to strol...
