The one-hour-vacation

Thursday, Apr 2nd in Stuttgart

Today was really the first day this year where I could feel that the winter is finally taking off.
It was one of those days where some people still walk around in their wintercoats while others, mainly teenagers have already taken out their tank tops and ballerinas. This of course is a little too early considering that temperatures where still in the 60s, but it gives you an outlook on what will come – probably in about two weeks, when you consider how we kept skipping spring in favor of summer over the last few years.
Well anyway, getting out of work really early due to my sick counterpart, I had a whole hour to myself before getting on the train back to Munich and I enjoyed it with some Frappuccino and my newspaper on the Schlossplatz in Stuttgart sitting amongst hundreds of other sun lovers. This feels like a very short but relaxing vacation! It is nice to see the sun or even the daylight while being outside after this long and horrible winter and I can’t wait to get back to Munich and enjoy the Nymphenburg Park and the English Garden on the weekend.
