Heidelberg

Yesterday, after my visit to the Waldkindergarten I had enough time to hop on a train and travel to Heidelberg.  It is a beautiful German town famous for its Gothic Churches and the a university that was founded in the 1100's.  

Oh yes, and the Heidelberg castle, or more like the ruins of the red-sandstone building.  Let me tell you friends, the Germans really know how to castle.  This thing was massive and very impressive.

For those fans of Young Frankenstein, all I could think was, "Nice Knockers." Am I right?

And are you kidding me?  Look at this wine barrel! I think that they had some very serious priorities.

Kiss the monkey! This Bridge is known as the "Old Bridge" that crosses the Nackar River and connects to the old part of town to the new.  The statue was to remind everyone to look over their shoulder as they cross and remember where they came from and that no one is more important than others.

Cheers! When in Rome... well, not Rome but, you get the idea.  To quote a great man, "Live life, do it, do it now!"  That great man was my husband and my biggest supporter.  It was very hot and this pilsner was very good.  As they say here, "PROST!"
