Stuttgart is the capital of Baden-Wuttemberg which is one of the two southern regions of Germany. There are magnificent castles and luxurious resorts in this region, and of course there is also the beautiful Black Forest area. While we're in Stuttgart, we decided to take a drive through the Black Forest. Before our scenic drive, H and AJ wanted to visit the famous Mercedes-Benz Museum. Lucky us, we picked the day that an auto show was held in the nearby convention center so the museum offered FREE admission on that day. Because lots of people took the advantage of FREE admission so that's why when we got there, we saw a L~O~N~G line!! H went to the front to check the waiting time and came back to tell us to leave, because by the time we got to the front door, the museum would be closed. Oh well.... no Mercedes Benz Museum. |

|
Well... since we couldn't get inside the museum, H and AJ took a picture with the Mercedes insignia as the backdrop in the parking garage. |

Starting our scenic drive through the Black Forest.... |
|
|
While we're waiting for green light to go through a road construcion section, all we heard was the sound of the running creek. It was so peaceful. |
|
|
Passing through a unknown town (or village?) |
|
|
H just had to pull over and got out to take a picture |
|
|
We're too busy to look for the highway sign and almost drove pass this story like area. |
|
|
|
|
|
Just after H made the first turn from the story like area, another beautiful view was on the right side of the road. |
|
|
After H made another turn, he spotted a viewing point so he drove over there and took this picture. After we drove off, AJ told dad that it's not a viewing point, but a helicopter landing area for the nearby hospital!! Oops! |
