So, promptly upon arriving home from our visit to Heidelberg, I developed a nasty cold (seems I can’t catch a break these days in the training department). Anyway, this just means that I’m going to slap up a few photos here and call it a post, then go take another nap.
We stayed with friends in neighboring Eppelheim and spent a good deal of our short visit walking around Heidelberg’s Old Town — visiting the Church of the Holy Spirit and the Church of the Jesuits, touring the Castle, and riding the funicular up to Königstuhl (for amazing views of the entire area!). I even managed to sneak in a long run — from Eppelheim towards the center of Heidelberg, along the Neckar River, then turned around and headed back. To sum up, Heidelberg is a gorgeous little city with beautiful buildings, tons of history, lots of tourists, and plenty of restaurants and bars (that like to attach glow sticks to their cocktails).

Okay, nap time.
Beautiful photos! It looks like you had great weather, too! Was the cocktail at Regie?
It’s actually from Cafe Gecko, but we went to Regie the next evening and noticed they were also down with the glow sticks! Is that a Heidelberg thing? Or just a coincidence? :)
How was your trip??
Lovely photos, Mandi! Thanks for sharing.
I’m not really sure if it’s a Heidelberg thing! If so it’s relatively new because Regie only had them last time I was there – I don’t remember them before that – and I don’t remember seeing them anywhere else either (but many places I haven’t been to in several months).
Yuck on the cold! Hope you feel better. The pictures are beautiful though!
