While in Germany, I stayed about 3 days in Tübingen, the university town that Val is studying at this semester. Besides teeming with college students, I soon learned that the streets there are filled with chubby-cheeked, blond, blue-eyed babies, and a disproportionate amount of people carrying ice cream cones. No, really. It’s rather bizarre.
It was generally wet while I was there, except for our last day, which incidentally was my favorite. We rented a paddle boat on the Neckar river, had a picnic, and later went to a grassy area to read Harry Potter. So this is what vacation is about.
