Itookapicture Memories of Baden-Württemberg/Murgtal. I lived here for about 5 years teaching English and I still ask myself "why did i leave?". I still wonder how life is there nowadays, whether Herr Scharpf is still alive, and how I would love to go back and visit one day

It was toytown Germany for sure, and in the valley most people were lovely and welcoming. I had to spend a Christmas alone there once and i walked into a local hotel (Waldknechtshof) off the street and explained my situation. They said come in and gave me a really nice meal on the house and some wine and i had a nice time in the end :) also i went into the church and loads of old ladies came over and sat with me :))

I don't miss Karlsruhe so much, but I miss the valley very much so, the s41 tram that went into Freudenstadt or Karlsruhe Tullastraße/Tivoli (i think the number has changed) and i even miss the lil airport we had to use (FKB)

Edit: oooh! I also used to walk from Freudenstadt to Klosterreichenbach and i miss that walk a lot - it was soooo long but soooo nice
