Day 19: June 25

 Today we started with a train to Stuttgart and then travelled to the Mercedes Benz Museum. It acts as a spiral where everyone starts at the top and walks down the levels to see all the different generations of cars and vehicles. At the bottom floor they even had a dealership. From there we went to the shopping area.

I went through a few different stores and got something to eat, but many people bought lots of different things. Some just went around and explored as well.

I had the luxury of braiding Drake’s hair with Azi and also getting to enjoy the second to last night with all of the Germans.

Other people weren’t so sad, but still felt like they would miss their host families, like Hunter, who said leaving was bittersweet. I was extremely saddened that I had to leave Felix and his friends, but ...
