Day Trip #3: Heidelberg

My friend Natalie joined us a week after Dustin had arrived. Big props to her as we picked her up from the Frankfurt airport at 8:00 in the morning and traveled further South to Heidelberg, fresh off the plane and full of jetlag. I had been to this city several times as a kid, and it was always the favorite city of my childhood best friend. It's an incredibly romantic town, with a sense of academia in the air and old castle ruins to let ones imagination drift off into the past.



Stop #1: The old university library belonging to the oldest university in Germany, established in 1386. There has been a lot of thinking done in this town!

We had an almost 5 hour train ride home and a jet lagged friend among us, so it was important for us to catch our planned train home. The evening was beautiful, and the air crisp. We jetted back to the train station, with about 12 seconds to spare, and only time enough for quick snapshots of the picturesque view of the city.
