Stuttgart

During the summer I went to Stuttgart to visit my dear friend Rabea.
Me and Rabea we met in Florence during an internship. It was this kind of friendship that started after the very first talk... I remember that we went for a coffee on one of the very first days at work, we started to chat and it was it, we were there... I just thought: I like her.
Thanks to Rabea I have understood how much Polish and German cultures are similar. I remember when she invited me once for breakfast... I entered her kitchen, I saw all these cheeses, ham, eggs, bread and BUTTER and I thought - HOME! Just tell me, how long could manage to eat brioches and cookies for breakfast every morning?
So during next 4 months we were a strange German-Polish couple between our Italian friends. We were perfectly understanding our jokes (since I live abroad I have understood that sense of humor is totally cultural thing), we had our similar, strange food attitudes and so on.
Unfortunately Rabi left Florence and turned back to Germany. And so I am having my brioches and my cookies for breakfast once again...
I went to visit her in August. I have spent a wonderful weekend between Stuttgart, Tuebingen and Heidelberg.
In Stuttgart I visited the Kunstmuseum with its significant collection of Otto Dix's paintings.
I really liked the square in front of the building also because it is dominated by a Calder's sculpture.
