...should you ever get there, the Mercedes museum is a wonderful place to visit. We visited in 1979, barely got in. We had jumped off of our train in Stuttgart and called Mercedes. They said they were closed because of the terrorists but when they heard we were American tourists they said, "Come on over." We found the U-Bahn station and went. Had the place mostly to ourselves and it was great.
