Stuttgart

Hallo von Stuttgart! Today we split up: Dennis took the Mercedes Museum tour while the ladies and Johannes checked out a very old castle.

Starting with Mercedes ...

Before Daimler and Benz invented cars, people used white horses to get around:


And then they painted castles on their horses:


But then everyone started driving Mercedes because they were faster than horses and more "statusey":


Unless they could not afford Mercedes and had to resort to colorful and "green", but slow, sculptures.


But Mercedes then started to fill the roads:


So the castle people planted flowers

And then there were no more Mercedes photos so we'll focus on the castle:





Fairy Tale Land, featuring Hansel & Gretel's house:


It was a very hot day, so the Schnepfenbach City Pool was packed:



An outstanding German dinner courtesy of Christine:


And Hefeweizen from Frank:


Then to the patio for a nightcap
