During the 2013-14 school year, just as Samantha went off to college, Anja Class came to live with use for a year. So, we spent the weekend (and Candy much of the next week) visiting Anja and her family. We arrived quite late on Friday evening, but they picked us up a the train station in Stuttgart, took us to their village of Schlaitdorf, and served us pumpkin soup for dinner. And, I had a special prize awaiting me in the pumpkin they had carved and set on their front step.

The next day the Class family took us on a tour of Tubingen, an old university town where both Helga and Dieter attended law school. During the tour we saw two statues depicting two men arguing. Dieter and I then decided to argue over who should get to keep Anja.

The next day we visited the Mercedes Benz Museum. In the lower level of the museum you could purchase a car. Anja declared that whomever purchased a car for her could keep her. Neither Dieter nor I were interested in making such a purchase...I suggested that perhaps that means Anja is now an orphan!
