On Saturday we headed out to the romantic city of Heidelberg. All of our Germany travel books describe Heidelberg, along the Neckar river, as the city of romance. We explored the city for most of the afternoon we walked along the river, ate in a café along the cobbled streets and shopped in the marktplatz. Heidelberg is a busy university town, so we actually saw young people, which was a dramatic change since Sam and I were beginning to think that Germany only had very old folks living here. Although after about four hours spent sightseeing, shopping and eating I am not sure what the guide books consider romantic, the one armed man playing drums for spare change, the convert to Islam booth or the dozen or so dogs aloud in the restaurants. While I was still looking for my romantic part of the city, Laura found hers at Build a Bear! We traveled thousands of miles and we just cannot seem to get away from buying the bears new clothes, therefore one of her numerous bears now sports a fashionable “I Love Heidelberg” shirt. Maybe I should have looked harder in that chocolate shop for romance, I am sure with enough Euros spent I could have found something.
As ussual I appear in one picture!
Sam sucked it up and paided the 1.50 Euro for him and Laura to head to the top if the old town Church.
You guys are on a roll! Beautiful pictures - I think a trip to Heidelberg is in order for us soon...
