John and Judy, in front of their hotel
Our first night, at the tapas restaurant. John is sampling his first German beer; a Kölsch.
Here they are in front of the Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle, the art museum, after seeing a bunch of ancient Chinese artefacts with me. We also took a stroll around the 'garden' on the roof. I'll post photos of that some other time.
The view from "Zum Rheinblick," my favorite spot/Biergarten on the river.
Judy likes the wine.
John with a Bitburger Pils, a very popular beer around here. "Bitte ein Bit!"
John taking a chunk out of "the best sausage [I've] ever had."
Getting rained on in beautiful Heidelberg.
We only half-toured this castle; maybe we'll go back someday.
Waiting in the foyer for the tour to start.
Another gorgeous building in Heidelberg. Not sure what it's used for.
A suit of armor in the Schloss.
Maybe this was a sarcophagus lid; or hung on a wall.
An absolutely gigantic sculpture in the center of Heidelberg. I assume nobody knows why it was put there.
Outside the Heidelberg train station. I really wish we'd had more time in the city.
I fed this guy some Pringles while we waited for our train. About ten minutes after he flew off, there was an enormous wind/rain storm and I was cleaning the dust out of my eyes a day later.
We socialized with some natives at the Bonn botanical gardens.
More beer at the tapas restaurant.
Hittin' the Bit one last time before they left the next morning.
