Setting up my Esslingen Tour

I walked for hours yesterday, up and down every alley in Esslingen. People probably wondered what I was

doing with my little notebook. Writing down the names of restaurants, wine cellars, etc.(check out Einhorn

Weinkeller, looks promising)  Now I have to learn how to ask "what makes your place special?" "what are you best known for among the locals?"

I went into the Tourist Office once I got to the main square and found a couple from Wisconsin in there! What were the chances of that! I never see Americans here.
The lady working there was able to get me a 'tour guide booklet' for Esslingen in English so I can start studying. Fun!
After I'd walked circles around the place I was waiting for the bus and decided I'd go try and find the bottom of the stairs that lead to the Burg. But you know, once I got there I couldn't not go up there so, one step at a time I climbed up to the top and enjoyed the views. It was great! Really it boils down to alot of work and plenty of visits to the local establishments to see what I'm impressed with etc. Fun!
