Stuttgart museum, evening at disco in Sulzbach

Saturday we visited the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart museum and the beautiful city center. The museum contained a Gauguin and other works by famous artists. Upon return we were invited for dinner at Michael and his wife's apartment. There we sampled homemade blackberry schnapps and some port wine that is aged by going around the world in a ship. (Its name was in my notes - and now I'm not sure that I understood correctly.)

Saturday evening we went to the local "disco." The music was predominately 70's rock: "Radar Love" and so on. We then drove to Backnang to see what the techno club was like. But they wouldn't let me in due to my open-toed Nike sandals. It was already near midnight and a 30 minute round trip back to the apartment, so we just returned to the disco. At least at this location, in Europe you don't "ask someone to dance," you just go on the floor. Jay went first, and then Simple Minds "Don't You Forget About Me" brought me out. It was a bit emotional since the last time we were on a dance floor together was "when it all started." In 1976 at "Yori's Disco 2000" in Reno Jay began performing choreographed magic on the dance floor, which led to his career as a magician.
