Heidelberg
December 7, 2008
Here is Happy Paul, happy to be in Germany. This is the Frankfurt train station and we are waiting for our train to Heidelberg. Notice that he is wearing two coats. The temperature hovered around 40F and rainy, so was not as cold as we had expected. Only needed my gloves when the wind came up.
If you are wondering where the Marlboro man has gone. He has moved to Germany.
Here is Happy Paul in Heidelberg. The Holy Ghost Church is to the left. Markt Platz with it’s Christmas market is ahead.
Christmas market, one of many.
Holy Ghost Church and Christmas market.
Our hotel – Hotel Zum Ritter, built in 1592.
The views out our hotel windows. The Heidelberg Schloss (castle) up the hill and red roofs as far as the eye can see.
We ate at Vetters restaurant (more than once). Above is the view out the restaurant window and below is the 1/2 pig order Paul ordered and ate. Two large pork snitzels.

Ahhh! now I feel better =) It looks like a Portlander’s paradise – cold and rainy. Sorry no snow, but at least it looks like late fall, almost winter. And don’t worry, I’m sure that Dubai will have another storm for you in the next few years. ~Linda
