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.

Have you visited Stuttgart before?

I've never been to Stuttgart and never even thought to! But that palace looks amazing! And it looks like you had such a nice day - I love that picture of you guys at the fountain! :)
ReplyDeleteStuttgart is awesome! Sadly a lot of the Old Town was destroyed during WWII, but it's a vibrant city today. And of course any Mercedes fan will want to visit the factory there!
DeleteThis places look lovely! The water fountains are beautiful and I love the idea of dipping your toes in them and cooling off on a hot, sunny day!
ReplyDeleteIt was the perfect thing for a hot, jet-lagged kind of day!
DeleteWow, looks so pretty! Can't WAIT to explore Germany properly! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're going to loooooove it! And have I mentioned how jealous I am that you'll be living there?!
