I have always heard that the Air Force has the best living conditions of all the forces; this rumor was definitely confirmed! The Kaiserslautern Military Community Center consists of the biggest exchange I have EVER seen, and a huge, brand new hotel that is definitely priced right($39 a night, mini fridge, microwave, queen bed with nice linens, free wifi, spacious well furnished rooms and on site parking!) The hotel and exchange are connected by what is basically a mall full of specialty stores and local vendors selling clothing, coo coo clocks, and Polish pottery. There's also a food court full of American style fast food, a 4 screen movie theater with stadium seating, and even a Romero's Macaroni Grill! Yeah, this base pretty much has it all, even a CHILI'S! and if you know me, you know that means they had me at hello. Needless to say, we didn't take many pictures during the few days we stayed here. Our time was divided between browsing shops, eating, going to the movies, and going to my appointments.
After the surgery the rest of the day was spent laying in bed with the curtains drawn, and my newly zapped eyes closed while I listened to whatever Brad found to watch on TV. Day one after surgery, I had a follow up appointment at the Landstuhl base hospital. With the exception of some redness and irritation which were to be expected, everything looked fine so we were ready to hit the road. I wasn't about to let minor surgery get in the way of my "seeing" the sights...well, considering the type of surgery I at least wasn't going to let it get in the way of me visiting the sights. 
We took the scenic route on our way out of Landstuhl since all we had seen thus far was the hospital. Germany is definitely beautiful in the fall. Ending out short tour of town and hitting the autobahn, we transitioned into the next chapter of our adventure, AMSTERDAM!
