Finding Tubingen

Tubingen remains to be one of our greatest finds. Although I am not insinuating that this is a little hidden gem that we came across on our own. Everyone in this area recommends visiting this quaint German village. I wrote this to my parents after our  first visit:

"We visited a beautiful town called Tubingen. It's only half hour away from Stuttgart and will definitely be a day trip for all visitors. We went last Sat and there was an amazing street fair going on with farmers, vendors, vintners and cheese makers. There were artichokes as big as Griff's head. It was awesome. While it's a University town with quite a few young people, it's also got incredible history-- the oldest house in the town is still inhabited and it was built in 1389!! The Neckar River runs through town and guys (good looking ones at that) from the university man gondolas that ride down the river."

We have since visited Tubingen with every guest and even on our own on some nice afternoons. It's a short drive from our place and it feels like the quintessential German town. It's not to be missed!
