| Exploring Wiesbaden |
When Mom and Dad arrived on October 3rd we spent
the day exploring Wiesbaden (the city where we live). The four of us took a
walk through the park toward downtown Wiesbaden. We enjoyed wandering the
streets and explaining all of the local sites. It was great being able to share
some of the beautiful sites we see everyday. In one of my first blogs after we arrived in Germany I shared pictures from a walking tour around Wiesbaden.

Since Oktoberfest was over for 2013 we decided to check out
the second largest beer festival in Germany. On October 9th we
explored the Stuttgart Beer Festival. This festival takes place every year for
about 14 to 16 days at the Cannstatter Wasen. The festival started around 1818
when King Wilhelm I sponsored the festival after years of famine. Live bands
play in the beer tents; there are carnival rides, all kinds of food, and a huge
Ferris wheel.
