¡Hola from Stuttgart! We took a little side trip to "Mexico" tonight into one of the Tex-Mex restaurants I had read about smack dab in the middle of Stuttgart. Mexican food is still one of the few things we can't seem to find quite like the numerous mouth watering options we had in Alabama. I was pretty sure after reading about this one, we weren't going to be served Doritos with our salsa.
As we settled in, I took one look around and felt like we were home. However, someone should mention to this lady that she should worry more about that cactus attacking her arm rather than the snow covered Christmas tree. But who am I to judge... maybe she had had enough of the delicious Sangria not to feel the cactus needles?!? We aren't exactly sure what happend when Jason tried to order a much craved Margarita, as the lady gave him a quick explanation in German that included the word "Beer". Jason took it to mean their Margaritas were not good. Funny that she returned and plopped TWO beers down in front of him. It is good to know that even Jason, who is fluent in the language, has times he isn't clear on the communication.

| I think that cactus got my eyes... |
Just like after a good Mexican meal in Alabama, our stomachs were flowing over the top of our jeans requiring some stroll time. We strolled thru Stuttgart looking at the Christmas windows. Yes- they are all still up and festive. If I had to guess, it probably has something to do with the fact things were not all glitz-ed up for Christmas in October. I find that Christmas is in December here in Germany.

very cool pictures of all the lights in Stuttgart!:) I forgot to comment when i read the sledding at night post...that was too funny:) Glad you could find somewhere that was alittle like home....even though you get beer instead of margaritas!:) love,m:)
ReplyDeleteGuacamole should transcend the language barriers even if margarita doesn't. The kids checked out the sledding videos and, oddly, thought Rocky was an otter. They asked me if otters run wild in Germany and are they friendly. X-)
