I was in Stuttgart in June 1998 for a Cray Users Group Conference. In addition, I spent the weekend in the area and made nice side trips to Ludwigsburg, Leonburg, and Esslingen. All three were really neat towns... Baroque and Medieval. Sorry, no pictures of them (well, I actually have some good ones... but not digital). I was previously in Germany (Koln, Hamburg, Munich, Dachau, etc.) in 1977. Dachau made quite an impression.
