This would be our last day as as group.  We all got some breakfast and eventually made it to the Mercedes-Benz museum and spent quite a while inside.  Apparently Stuttgart is the Detroit of Europe.  We had lunch in the museum cafe and left to visit the Weissenhof museum.  It's a modern architecture development with houses from the likes of Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius.  One of two Corbusier houses was open to the public, so we took a tour.  It was pretty amazing to see such a collaboration of architecture (even though Mies laid down some rules).  If you want to see the modern-day Weissenhof, check out the ORDOS project in Mongolia.  After this, Prof. Flury left to visit some family, and us students were left to our own devices.  We went downtown to the art museum and finally did some shopping, went back to the hostel, bought dinner at the 'penny markt' and went to bed.
