I sat on my cake

Yes I did. I sat on my cake. It wasn't a cake in the true sense of the word it was this thing they have here that  is just a thing of beauty. Oh man, its really hard to describe. Its a pastry that has strawberries and a crumble topping with glaze over it. I'll snap a photo of it one of these days. Either way I bought this thing and went to the park (Schlossplatz-Castle grounds) to have a seat in the sun and enjoy it.
When I got to the park I found a great spot to sit down and decided it would be better not to sit on the grass

and have the potential muddy bum happen so I put my bag down and proceeded to sit and get comfortable. Only after I'd done that did I realize what I'd just sat on. It was a sad moment when I pulled the giant sticky paper bag out of my larger (luckily) plastic one and saw the smoosh. Wah! So at least I didn't get a muddy bum and since the pastry was inside a plastic bag I didn't get a sticky bum either, hehe.

I went to Stuttgart on the train today. It was an easy journey this time. After having ridden the entire line before it all seemed familiar. I stopped into the tourist info office (where I was given a plastic bag) and then headed up the main shopping street to the park. They say the shopping street there is a mile long. You should see it, store after store. And everyone was busy too!

The Schlossplatz was packed with people so I circled the place a few times (and bought a pastry) before I came back and had a seat (on my cake).
My plan was to meet Dani and a few other girls for sushi. It was a great plan! They all met at 4:30 and we had an Eis (ice cream~we call it gelato) in the park before it was time to head to the restaurant. Nice day for it. We headed to the Sushi place which was tucked into this little alley, you've never have found it without a local taking you there. Its a tiny place so it fills fast, people wait in line outside to get a table. Dani had made reservations so we were in luck. The sushi was good. Everything seemed familiar except for one fish which was totally white and was a weird chewy thing. Hmm
After dinner we had cocktails at a really cool old building that was the library and is now a bar. I guess they are tearing it down which is really too bad but Stuttgart seems to insist on modernizing everything. Bummer!
