Not a great image, but this shows the whole palace promenade. Today we walked from the visitor center to the north end of the palace grounds, around the gardens and through the palace. That's an amazing testimony to opulence and waste.
Above are some of the Governor's guns and cutlery collections. No such thing as gun control back then!
The volunteers use real food products to cook various items which are left on display for days. Just imagine - no refrigeration for raw materials or finished products. My guess is there was lots of sick folks over the years.
The palace gardens are awsum. There are beautiful walkways, English formal flower and herb gardens, boxwood hedges and topiary, water features, etc.After touring the Palace, we took the shuttle back to the van and we did lunch and rested up. In the afternoon we went back to the Market Square area and walked some more. All in all, the many miles walking, and the intense heat (over 100 degrees F. on the thermometer today!) really did us in. Tomorrow we're looking for a less intense day.
Did ya get picked to be the representative to the gov'ner?Erich did when we there.
