Heidelberg

Wednesday -February 18, 2009

Today it is cold outside -but the sun is shining- and so we ventured into Heidelberg. We took the burgbahn up to the castle - the grounds were very icy - but we still enjoyed the castle, and got some neat pictures with the snow.

Dad and Mom overlooking Heidelberg. The Church of the Holy Spirit (this is where the Heidelberg Catechism was written).

Scenes from the castle grounds

Looking up at the Heidelberg Castle from the bridge. The sun was out -so the pictures are a bit hazy....but we will take the warmth of the sun anyday! The last picture was taken of us inside the Church of the Holy Spirit. Two nice old German ladies stopped to talk with us (I think they liked Silas) and ended up taking our picture.

Mom and Dad are really enjoying their time here. They are soaking everything in....which is A LOT! Dad is marveling at the history -and reading up on all the places we are going to. We are also having some "down" time in the afternoons when the rest of the kiddos get home from school. All in all we are having a GREAT time together!
