This morning we woke up early so that we could get dressed and pack up the rest of our stuff before going to eat breakfast so that we could catch our train on time. We had another super delicious breakfast provided by the hotel and made sure that we ate plenty for our train ride to Stuttgart. After breakfast we went up to our room to get our bags and bring them down to checkout. Our room wasn't very expensive for what we got in the price and the staff at the hotel. Everything was so wonderful and we would definitely recommend the Forsthaus Graseck to anyone that is going to Garmisch Partinkerchen. We took a taxi to the train station as it would have probably taken us an hour to get there with our bags and stuff. It was a nice train ride to Stuttgart where we were to meet Tasha's Aunty Ruthlies. It was a good thing that we had seat reservations because the train was quite full. When we arrived in Stuttgart we hurried off the train so that we could walk to find Tasha's Aunty. As we were walking and got closer to the main area we spotted a woman with a wide-eyed look on her face and that was Aunty Ruthlies. She was so happy to see Tasha because it had been so long. She met us in Stuttgart at the train station and then we took the S-Bahn to Marbach, which is the town that she lives in. She had prepared a wonderful lunch for us that was a delicious soup from her hometown and it was soooooooooooooooooo good. After eating the soup she had baked 2 cakes that we had to try and that was no problem except that we were both quite full but we managed to eat a piece of each. We showed her Aunty and her son some pictures of our trip through Europe and they were so shocked that we had traveled alone all around the place. We spent some time relaxing after looking at pictures and eating lunch and then we ate a small dinner. For dinner we ate some bread, leberwurst, bratwurst, and cheese. It was all so delicious. After finishing with dinner Tasha and I decided to hit the sack early so that we would be well rested for Sunday.
