Porsche Museum

When we were invited to Germany, the first thing Howard thought of was the new Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. Going to the museum was awesome, Howard was very excited and woke up very early that morning.

Thursday

Le Favorite...this residence was a summer home.You can't make this up...
That afternoon we went to France. This was Notre Dome Cathedral. (in France, they call all the cathedrals Notre Dome, even though the 'real' Notre Dome is in Paris) This cathedral was the most spectacular looking cathedral we'd saw.
The oldest working clock in the world.
Watch out of PickpocketsThe stain glass in all the cathedrals is just spectacular.

Shwertzingen Palace

Thursday we went to Shwertzingen Palace. We wanted to tour the palace, but the tour was in German and the lady told us its just "a simple summer home" and talked us out of going on the tour. This "simple summer home" was HUGE! We toured the gardens and they were just beautiful and very breathtaking.

...More Castles...

Cochem Castle
This was Howard's favorite castle. We went on a tour of the castle which was wonderful because the tour was in English and we were the only ones on the tour. The lady who gave the tour was very friendly and we learned alot of history of the castle.

This armor was for a man who was over 8 feet tall.


Burg Eltz
This castle was so neat to me because it is still owned by the Eltz family today. Pictures weren't allowed inside so we don't have many of this castle, but it was a favorite.This next castle was featured in the 3rd Indian Jones Movie. This is where Indiana's dad is being held captive.
