heidelberg
today anne showed me around heidelberg (where her school is). We went to the philosophie weg, where guys like goethe went to walk way back when. biked along the Neckar (river), went to the castle, and walked down the fußganger zone, which is shopping. heidelberg i guess has one of the longest in germany.
flowers in febuary, along the philosophieweg.

now this is what a keg should be. it was so huge i could hardly believe it. It had its own room in the castle. The king wanted a keg that would never run out, so here it is. It can hold 221,726 liters (nalgens). that is my head in the picture. Think of the parties this guy had! haha

Hey -
Sounds like you're having fun. Heidelberg is like the only place I've really been in Germany - that's cool that you went there. Great blog. Have fun over there.
Jake, visit the campground that is right along the Neckar, a bit upstream from the bridge. We camped there a couple of times. Spit in the river for us, to have a bit of yourself travel downstream to the ocean and through all that is in between. Great city, we envy you.
Have you read "Absolute Friends" by Le Carre? Part of it is set in Heidelberg, good book.
Tell us what good bikes are common over there with good riders, and how they compare to your TREK.
Danke, Mark Knutson
