Germany

Traveling, traveling, traveling.....and lovin' it!!!  I just got back from a great weekend in Germany.  I met up with a friend, Justin Davis after 7 months of not seeing the guy.  It was great.  We met up in Frankfurt and walked around and ate some tasty indian food for supper.  Everyday I got my fill of Starbucks as well as some nice chatter from Justin.  We walked about the town taking some fun pictures and people watching.  I find it just precious how in Europe old people walk with linked arms all around a city.  Why don't the old people in America do that?  Anyways, it is one of the many things I appreciate about Europe.

On Sabbath, the original plan was to take a train to Berlin, but boy was it expensive.  I decided against it and instead we took the next train to a nearby city called, Heidelburg.   It was gorgeous, just not when we were there.  We saw pictures of what it looks like in the spring and summer time and I would like to visit there again.  We walked around and look at all the stores, ran into a rugby game and were completely in awe of the game, considering we had NO idea what was going on, and we spent some time in a chocolate shop.

Sunday morning, we visited the Heidelburg Castle, essentially the only big thing there is to see there and then we were on our way back to Frankfurt.  In Frankfurt we did a lot more walking and walked some crazy guys do some crazy tricks on their bikes...it was quite fascinating, watched a WWII Nazi Movie in Germany (kinda ironic), and then we ate some mighty delicious hamburgers.  I got a falafel burger and I think I can say it is the best burger I've ever had.  I would visit Frankfurt again, just for another one of these burgers.

The trip was great and it was fun to catch up with Justin again.  Now I'm back in Sagunto, but I actually leave tomorrow for Barcelona for a week with the school.  So...I will probably be blogging again soon...until then.
