Matt went to pick up the car parts he had ordered from the Volkswagen dealership and I gave myself a Mary Kay Facial while I worked on some school work for a few hours. A few hours turned into about six and I finally decided to get dressed and get out of the house.
We had some friends in town from the Ramstein Air Base area who we hadn't seen in a long time so we went to meet them at their awesome hotel called "V8 Hotel" where we were in awe of hundreds of old-timey vehicles that were parked in the lobby which was also sort of a museum of European cars.
Most of the cars were either for sale or for rent for the day or a weekend. Several of the vehicles were owned by people who paid to have them stored there, most of them were newer and very expensive cars such as Audi, Lamborghini, and Ferrari.

We ended the evening by having dinner at our local brewery, the Schönbuch Brauhaus. For dinner I ordered Pork shanks in brown beer sauce with potato salad, green salad and a bread dumpling. For some reason the Germans put potato salad in their green salads...at least they do in our region of Swabia.

After dinner we ordered dessert and coffee. I had a cappuccino and Matt had an espresso. Matt wasn't going to share his Quark Strudel so I ordered my own dessert and ate about half of it.

It was so nice to hang out with our friends Naysha and Bryan who recently got married. We were happy that we were able to spend some time together while they were in town to celebrate Bryan's birthday.
