Splashing around the Schlossplatz (Stuttgart)


My love affair with Germany began in July 2010.  Granted, my fascination with the country goes farther back, but I didn't truly meet Germany until we landed in Frankfurt and began our train journey to Stuttgart.  It was there in Stuttgart that I first fell in love with everything German.

It was a hot day, and we had been deposited in the Schloßplatz (Castle Plaza) to "walk off" our jet lag.  We roamed through churches, window-shopped at various upscale clothing stores, admired the castle facade, and dipped our toes into a few fountains to cool off.  It was a great start to a wonderful honeymoon.












The Mercedes factory!

You're in wine country - Riesling wine, to be precise!

Have you visited Stuttgart before?
