by Stuttgart...

On Monday a place was found for me in an intensive language school in a little town called Horb am Neckar which is close to Stuttgart in southwest Germany. I'm staying with a very nice host family here, and I attend classes about 5 hours a day. Today was my first day, and it went pretty well. I feel I'm at the right level, and can see that this will be beneficial. I plan on only being here for four weeks, and I hope to be flying back in time for Christmas. On another note, here are a few pics from Oktoberfest again. The first one is proof that I didn't just google Oktoberfest and post some random pics. Thats me right there with Franziska, my host brother's girlfriend, and my other friend Steiny.

The second pic features the typical german behavior of text messaging. These were the guys that were nice enough to get to the tent early to reserve a table for the group. More interesting is the Oompa/folk/cover band in the back. They played a crazy mixture of music. I also like the cool wreaths, lights, and streamers hanging from the ceiling.

That's pretty much it for interesting Oktoberfest pictures. Wish I had my own camera, but I still got a lot of nice pictures. Guess I'll just have to go back again with a camera if I want more, oh fiddle sticks.
