Tomorrow’s stop is Stuttgart, Germany. I am so excited, I cannot sleep. My best friend and I have been touring Europe for 2-weeks now, a much needed break after finishing college. We know that next month we will be back to the real world. Looking for jobs, renting our first apartment and buying sensible shoes will be our top preoccupations but, for now, it’s Stuttgart, and we don’t have a care in the world.
I am a huge art fan, so touring the State Gallery is a must. This seriously is one of the finest art collections in Europe. Tomorrow, I shall tour Memling’s Bathsheba in her Bath, Hals, half-Length Portrait of a Man, Rembrandt’sPaul in Prison and Rubens Old Lady with Child. I am so excited. To a kid from West Philadelphia this is the big time. I cannot believe the history I am about to see. I have admired these artists’ works since I was little and never dreamed of seeing them in person.
What an experience. Even the Stuttgart hotels themselves house art in some of its most beautiful forms. Opulence and grandeur await!
