We left Keith's house just after noon and headed toward the train station with a plan to take our time and get in to Amsterdam later that night.
Stuttgart train station.
Brats at the station.
Cafe car on the train. Yummy cappuccino!
This was a very long bridge with thousands of bike locks attached to the railings.
All was good until we hit the train station in Emmerich......and realized there was not another train that woud take us on to Amsterdam. (the train went through this station, but did not stop to pick up passengers, ooops!) So, we had to do some backtracking to Dusseldorf....took a nap and jumped an early morning train on to Amsterdam. Yep, we got to hang out with the drunk German soccer fans. :>) Everett is a great sport when it comes to traveling and we had a good time, anyway!
We saw lots of men wearing knickers, but some of them used these bands to keep their pants from catching on the bike chain.
I didn't think we would make it to the airport in time to catch the late morning flight back to Atlanta, but the flight was delayed and we ran everywhere we could to save time, so it worked out very well. We both go first class and I started the trip home with two rounds of Mimosas! Yum!
The flat bed seats were awesome and I slept very well for at least three hours.
Everett catching up on the news.
We had a really fun time traveling western europe and I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with Everett, as usual. College is starting way too soon and I'm not quite ready for the summer to be over!

On the flight back we decided that, since we still had a couple days before I had to be back at work, we should pop on down to TX to see the family. Instead of leaving right from the airport, we decided to come home and change out our cooler weather clothes for items more suited to the hot TX weather.
