Dakota is feeling better! We're in good spirits. Your love and support has helped us when we've needed it. Thank you!

We stopped at the zoo today to fill a few hours before our flight. Dakota knows something interesting about every single animal. She's on her way to becoming an animal biologist. The Stuttgart zoo was exactly what she needed today.

Pearl and I couldn't look at the big cats in small environments so we spent our time in the tropical greenhouse, took deep breaths in the quiet humidity.

The travel Genie may have worked some magic. It sounds like Sam got us a nice upgrade for our room tonight. We'll stay up a late, eat later and then tomorrow is the big one!

Our flight departs shortly so this is Auf Wiedersehen to beautiful Germany!
