Anne is an amazing host and friend! We boarded the train to Weinheim and about 10 minutes in had a slight hiccup. She realized after spilling her water in her purse, that she lost her planner with her and Lindsey's ticket in it! Erik and I bought ours separately.. So when the ticketmaster came by to check, she had a really "like camping" conversation with him at high speeds.. naturally I completely lost what they were saying. I can understand the German for the most part over here but when someone decides to speak full speed or is upset, no f*ckin chance.
We resolved the issue thanks to Erik's iPhone and the internet proof of purchase. We arrived in Weinheim at about 8pm, ate some dinner with Anne's family (Lena, Helga, Alfred), had some Radler1, and were promptly in bed by 9.
The next day Anne took us through Weinheim and we went to the mall, saw the AltStadt and everything beautiful that a small (25.000) town has to offer. It was 65 and sunny so Erik and I wore shorts.. I think we were the only ones in town and definitely stuck out.
After two days in Weinheim, we came to Stuttgart with Anne (she continued to help us set up BahnCards and get phones... how awesome) and she hung out with us for two days before returning home.
The view from Anne's kitchen in Weinheim.. unbelievable how common these beautiful sights are over here.
1Radler - German pre-made mix of Lemonade and Beer... delicious and very popular here.
