Potsdam- Sanssouci Palace

Sunday morning we reloaded our rental car (always an adventure) and began our drive to Prague.

Before leaving Germany, we decided to detour to Potsdam to visit Sanssouci Palace- the residence of Frederick the Great).

The palace grounds were gorgeous.
There was no charge to access the grounds (only to tour the inside of the various structures) and we enjoyed a leisurely stroll (2 hours) throughout the gardens.

Playing in the trees

I was so tempted to sing a song from the Sound of Music under the canopy of trees (but Rob wouldn't let me :)

Every path led to another beautiful building.

As we were walking back to the car, we passed this tree.
The little stubs appear to be the roots climbing out of the ground.

Onward to Prague....
