Looking Back - Return 2 Ludwig's

One of our day trips last week was a return to the Neuschwanstein Castle just outside of Munich. But while our friends toured Mad King Ludwig's pet project (one and only one castle as they incorrectly read their ticket times), Chris and I drove around in the McDonald's van looking for antiques. Unfortunately, we learned small German villages really don't have antique shops. So we entertained ourselves by taking pictures of country cows and self serve pumpkin stands where you select your gourd and leave your money - one holiday tradition that would never happen in America. Someone would steal the pumpkins and take all the money!
