Castle Teck, near Stuttgart *pic heavy*

[MissHoneychurch]

I visited a friend of mine this weekend. She lives near Stuttgart, which is in South Germany. Yesterday we went to the Castle Teck. Here are some pics of it.
I don't really have a pic of the castle, since I took the pics while on the castle.











Enjoying a cold beer


Me and my friend














And me alone again

1. I can tell you were having a 'mahvalus' time! Looks like fun!

I like castles and historical stuff. Worked at Monticello and University of Virginia before becoming disabled. Of course they are 'new' old stuff compared to most castles.

[MissHoneychurch]

2. It was great

beautiful weather, gorgeous view and good company. What else can I ask for

[AirmensMom]

3. Great pics!

And it looks like you had a wonderful time, too!

(BTW, I recognize that top -- you look mahvelous in it! )

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Oh, we both had a great time

we talked a lot, enjoyed the nice weahter.

Now where do you know that shirt from?

It is the first time I was wearing it since I came back.

[AirmensMom]

5. I'm so glad!

The pics reminded me of our day at Grandfather mountain.


LOL! First time you've worn it? Why?

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Well, the weather was a bit nicer yesterday

Didn't had a chance to wear it so far. Not the fitting pants for example.

[AirmensMom]

7. You would have had plenty of chances here ...

it's finally cooling down to reasonable temps these days. You would think we had our summer early and now are in late spring.

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Hey you get rain

you need it.

We had the weather for that shirt in between. But I can't wear it to skirts (looks funny) and jeans are just too hot in the hot weather.

[AirmensMom]

9. Not getting any now ...

it's all in the mountains. But we had some yesterday. Might have to have the lawn re-seeded, but I've pretty much accepted it.


Yep, I can see your point. It's not a skirt type of top. I've seen lots of anti-capris comments here, but they are really a lot more comfortable than jeans in the summer, especially if you don't want to wear shorts.

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Exactly

and they are perfect for my vacation in Sweden in August.

They are perfect for hiking or with the right shoes they look elegant

[Eurobabe]

10. Very nice, I like the nook and cranny shots

the sky through the rocks.

Maybe I am "homesick?" TV is enough to depress anyone over here, non-stop: bash Obama, bash Clark, war with Iran, oil prices, food prices, amber alerts. Oh and other important things like bears on the loose in NJ, Amy Winehouse slugging a fan. God, when does my plane leave on Friday??

[MissHoneychurch]

11. Thank you

Hey, you could read www.zeit.de with the German news

All the newspapers and online papers are full with the loss last night. Not fun to read.

Sounds like you need to go out and go to the museums in Philly and leave the TV turned off except for Olberman.

[Eurobabe]

13. You are right,

Headed for a cool shower, and then getting out of here. Checking out a mountain bike, with proper shoes today, and maybe I will go to the Borders. Good idea.

Unfortunately Meghan had corrections AGAIN on her thesis, so I am not sure if she can go play with me?

[MissHoneychurch]

14. There you go

enjoy yourself with a bike ride. And when you come back have a nice dinner with Meghan. Go out, find a nice restaurant to eat. Enjoy her company.

[Aristus]

15. Damn, I miss Germany!...

*sigh*

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Aren't you glad

I post pics now and then?

[Aristus]

18. I'm always overjoyed.

They're always so beautiful...

[MissHoneychurch]

20. I will continue to enjoy you ...

oh wait ... that came out wrong

[Aristus]

30. That's okay...

...just go with it.

[Pierre.Suave]

17. I am glad to see the Castle has Direct TV...

[MissHoneychurch]

19. It is a modern castle

[Pierre.Suave]

29. I should also add

that I think the pictures are great. Thanks for posting them.

[MissHoneychurch]

21. Kick

[Shell Beau]

22. Very beautiful!

[MissHoneychurch]

23. Thanks Shell Beau

How are you doing?

[Blue_Tires]

24. great shots

looks like you had a wonderful time!

so how old is the castle? and why does it have a TV dish? people don't live there, do they?

do you know how high you are from the ground in that wide landscape shot? -- that's my favorite (that and the bottom one...)

[MissHoneychurch]

26. Thank you

Me and my friend had a great time.

OK, let me see if I can answer those questions. I make it easy for myself. Here is the page about it in Wikipedia

25. Your next photo mission:

BMW Welt in München

[MissHoneychurch]

27. Never been there

maybe next time I visit 48percenter near Munich.

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. Okay, I get the 'Teck' bit

Dude in the third photo has a satellite dish on the back of his neck.



Btw — I really, really, really, really, really, really, really like that top.









Oh — Germany's freaking gorgeous, too.

[MissHoneychurch]

38. Glad you noticed the important stuff

btw, I bought the top in the U.S.

[LanternWaste]

31. More gorgeous pictures of more gorgeous landscapes...

I've got one of your Black Forest Village pictures as my desktop-- that's how pretty I think they are!

I envy you for having the opportunity to travel to what seems like one of the world's prettiest counties!

[MissHoneychurch]

39. Now, there is a compliment

Germany has some nice spots I have to admit

If you go to my journal, there are most of my pictures I posted in the Lounge. Enjoy.

32. Wonderful pictures !! Is this the Castle?

[MissHoneychurch]

40. Sure enough is

And we walked up that hill. .... OK where is a hard breathing smiley when you need one. Damn, I have no condition anymore, it is embarrassing.

Do you have a shot glass from there?

[SPKrazy]

33. Germany Is Beautiful !!!!

great pics

yanno I never thought it before, but looking at that area of Germany, it is very much like Arkansas

the hills/mountains are very similar in age I think.

I've been in the Rhine river region, Bavaria, and the Munchen parts. I'm pretty sure I've been to Stuttgart. There is a Stuttgart, Arkansas, however it is in the flat, flat, rice growing river delta area in Arkansas.

Thanks for sharing!

[Robeson]

34. Beautiful pics, MissHoneychurch...

...breathtaking.

BTW, I sure miss our late night talks...

[MissHoneychurch]

41. ROBESON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How are things with you and MrsRobeson? I sure enough miss our talks as well. I still remember our nice evening in Nashville 2 years ago. I had such a great time with you.

[Zornhau]

35. Beautiful pics MissH!

[MissHoneychurch]

37. Thanks

You been there while you were in Stuttgart?

Looking forward to see you and LynzM in a couple of months

[mike_c]

36. wow, awesome pics!

What a beautiful place!

[MissHoneychurch]

42. It was really nice

the view was gorgeous.

Thank you.

[bluesbassman]

43. Wonderful pics MissHoneychurch!

I was stationed at Merrill Barracks in Nurnberg in '77 & '78. Got to visit Stuttgart once. Beautiful countryside and warm people in the south. Fond memories of the Christkindlesmarkt.

Thanks for the pics!

[MissHoneychurch]

44. You are welcome

it gives me pleasure to see how many wonderful memories people have of Germany.
