And so ends the period of Stuttgart

It is hard to believe that I have been in Stuttgart for two weeks now. A lot of fantastic things have happened and I can honestly say that I had a better time this year that last, mostly because of the people that I have been hanging with. Phil shared a small pearl of wisdom with me at breakfast one morning that in all programs like this, there is a honeymoon period and then people start to get edgy. For me the past four weeks have been completely "honeymoon" times for me. I can't help but feel that the time that I am here is stolen time.

Yesterday Brynne and I did the last rounds of Stuttgart souvenir shopping since everything is closed today. I bought a pretty ring at Swatch ^__^ Last night was the concert with the "movie" and let me just say that I am glad that it is over. Tonight is the final B Minor Mass concert and tomorrow we leave for Leipzig to begin the touring portion of the program.
