Surgery is never fun. But when you end up in a hospital, you have the advantage of getting visitors who bring you attention, flowers and chocolate. When you don’t end up in a hospital (like me), you still get visitors who bring you attention, but no flowers and no chocolate. So much for that, but the biggest advantage of not ending up in a hospital is, that you can play tourist in your own hometown! Right after surgery we checked in a hotel downtown Ingolstadt which is located in the center of Oldtown: Hotel Adler

Recovering at my moms house was out of question: Inside are 42 steps to conquer and that doesn’t accommodate the healing process in any positive way. So we chose this hotel, we got a little apartment on the ground floor and I didn’t have to climb any stairs since waking up from the anesthesia! Perfect! And I get visitors to distract me and – here comes the best part – who show Ted around! Best tour guide award so far: my brother in law Erwin! Thank you for showing Ted many of those special places Ingolstadt has to offer!
Another highlight was the WWI Museum in the Klenzepark that Ted enjoyed A LOT! Unfortunately – fortunately all the explanations were in German only – otherwise Ted wouldn’t be back yet

In the meantime my favorite sister and I went to a big one-day-long fabric market in town. We had a blast! Everything a real Schneider (=Taylor) cannot live without: fabrics (of course), notions, ribbons, buttons, zippers, threads, patterns, tools and equipment, etc. It was like heaven!!!
