Club Carrousel Heidelberg

... now cold, windy and rainy...I am sorry for my friends who are now working.<br><br> Here starts the Brazil trip! <br> <br> PLEASE THIS IS A PRIVATE TRAVELBLOG, DO NOT DISTRIBUTE THIS ADRESS TO OTHER <br> PEOPLE!<br><br> <br><br><br><br>

Without an official job offer, I took advantage of my free time and joined Jon at his conference in Heidelberg. As it turns out, the official job offer was coming, but that comes later . . . In the mean time, I got to explore while Jon had to sit and listen. Lucky me! <br><br>We've become big fans of the day passes for trains and busses. For one, you can travel around and cut out a bit of walking. But really, it's ...

... is Robb? I worked with him ages ago at Disneyland, but in the ensuing (eek!) 18 years, he's become one of the foremost world experts on...rollercoasters. (check out his site, http://www.ThemeParkReview.com). He had mentioned to me months ago that our travel itinerary goes right by one of Europe's largest theme parks- Holiday Park, I believe it is called. I initially ignored this tidbit, because hey, we're going ...

sorry it has been so long since we have been on and updated. Payton is doing GREAT. had an unhealthy 2 weeks but all better. She had thrush which is so hard to get rid of, then another cold and ear aches. but she is all better. she weighs about 16 to 17 lbs now and is about 23 1/2 to 24 inches long. she is really starting to coo now and its so cute. she is trying to sit up on her own. we almost have a sleep pattern down :) which im super excited abou

... br>It all began in Wurzburg, the first stop on the Romantic Road. We spent one night there, and toured the town, which was far more modern than I'd expected. We drove the next day to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, which is possibly the most perfectly preserved medieval town in Germany. Really, it's stunning. The entire town is half-timbered buildings. The only problem with it is that it's much like Venice; the entire town exists for tourists, and there's not much real life going on ...

... first mentioned in a document all the way back from 1350. The castle has slowly been restored over the years starting from 1970. While there we saw a Turkish Mosque, we walked around the garden (we took pictures of course) and saw a bunch of birds. The castle garden was absolutely beautiful I can't even guess how many people come here during the summer imagine it's just packed. After ...

... stories with him over a few more beers. He was a genuine bloke who made coffee for us the next day. He actually made brad two coffees and didn't offer me another one. I wasn't quite sure what the deal was but once I caught them smile I knew something might be up. I went to bed early in the night before and left them to themselves. I hope they had a good night whatever they got up to. We left roger the next day, or dodger as brad called him and headed for one little stop in the ...

... change to Social work and Outdoor Eduacation. I told him how I worked for a company some years back that had people with those qualifications working with kids with cancer. He then informs me he is working as an intern for the only group in germany that does camps for kids with cancer. How freaky is that! The more we talk the more conisidences we find. He's a real sweetheart and at 7ft something (possibly a little under) he's a gentle giant ...

... The receipt of your admission is then rebated against purchases. Stopped at Trier for lunch, but we were only in the suburbs, so we went a bit closer and walked into the town. Saw lots of Roman walls and ruins -- the best preserved in Germany so they say. Then on to Saarbruken and on side roads to see the view, and then back onto the motorway to Heidelberg. Mandy loved the view. The very helpful PDA ran out of batteries just as it ...
