Germany

Heidelberg and the German countryside

6/16/2009

I feel like I've been here for a long time now even though it's really only been 4 days!  Imagine after two months, I might not want to come back. :)

Let's see Sunday after church, we went and walked around Heidelberg.  It's a beautiful town- you can kind of see the castle at the top of this picture.  I also got my first taste of German food- wurst, sauerkraut and german potatoes, heferweizen (my favorite beer).  Awesome!  Much better than English food I'm sure.

After that, Cindy and I went on a little photo shoot/drive around the countryside.  It was kind of fun- we'd get to an intersection and Cindy would say "which way do you want to turn?".  We found some interesting towns and it was fun just to drive around and stop to take pictures whenever we wanted.  
One road we turned up led us to Hirschorn Castle.  


View from the top where we stopped to try Eis Kaffee (which is just ice cream in coffee- perfect)  and Apple Streudel.  I included those pictures too because they were just sooooo good.  






We then went to this town called Dillsburg which is a walled town.  Most of the houses are built right onto the old brick wall that used to protect the city.  Germans really take care of their stuff- the houses usually look pretty neat and very well gardened.


All the forests made me want to wander through them like Hansel and Gretel!
