When we picked up the Bacon/Aho clans from the Frankfurt am Main airport we piled everyone and their luggage (literally) into the rental van and met Mara, Debora, Rohan, and Lucas in Heidelberg. Heidelberg is a very old city (traced back to 400 AD!), and the acrictecture and design is very interesting.
We strolled down the main road (Hauptstraße) checking out all the little shops and taking in all the new sites. We ate lunch (for Josh's birthday) at Zum Weissen Schwanen for some excellent German food and a little bit of bier too. We continued down the street until we came to a square below the Heidelberg Castle. After tons of pictures, and a couple of Schneeballen from Diller's we drove up into the foggy mountain to the castle. It was in relatively good shape for being ~800 years old. It was really cool to look down from the castle wall and see the city below!
Later in the week we went to Bernkastel-Kües, a town on the Moselle River. It's very similar to Heidelberg in architecture, but was smack dab in the middle of wine country. The vineyards on the hillsides were awesome to see. We parked by the flooding Moselle and ate another great meal at the Altes Brauhaüs before walking around the quaint, and very slippery, streets.

Wow, this town looks amazing! The architecture and landscape are so phenominal it looks like it's a fake backdrop for a movie.
