Heidelberg

After meeting Jim and Caren in Frankfurt, we all took a train down south to Heidelberg. We explored the ruins of the castle overlooking the city and I skipped around the gardens just happy to be with family again. It is a lot easier to love Germany when you are traveling with loved ones.

We had an adventure taking the Bergbahn (mountain railway) up the Berg for lunch, until our noses discovered that the restaurant was closed while they were fixing the sewer. Lovely view, not-so-nice oder!

Castles

Growing up in the U.S. has bred an enchantment with castles in me. Maybe the fairy tales influenced me, or maybe it is the fascination with the foreign.

But what girl doesn't want to be a princess for a day?
