A celebration of fall and that uniquely American urge to wander in a pumpkin patch this time of year led us to the beautiful baroque city of Ludwigsburg and its' annual Kürbisfest today!
We entered the palace grounds from quite a distance and immediately wondered if this was really going to be worth the price of admission....the palace was certainly beautiful and as we walked down the promenade, many of the pumpkins were carved with "welcome!", however, it didn't really seem like it would be that special.

| Unfortunately, the 180° turn in the weather (we've gone from cold fall to Indian summer) caused some serious headache issues with Nate so he stayed home to recover. Incidentally, the palace was built in 1704 and is one of the oldest surviving palaces that remains "virtually unscathed from centuries of tumultuous history". It also boasts being among one of the largest palaces in Europe! |
