... 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>

... to me, switching to English when she figured my smile and nodding for what it was, said she'd lived there for 50 years but loved that magical moments like that still came around. <br><br>I left the magical moment up top and ventured to a drearier place, the Studeten Karzen. To boil it down, students who acted up were locked away in five upper rooms with no kitchen or running water for a few weeks. Looks as ...

So today we are departing Heidelberg. Last night we had our last Heidelberg beer at the Roten Oksen (The Red Ox), which in its day was Mark Twain's favorite bar. I always marvel that places like that survive the centuries- in America, we'd have knocked it down decades ago, put up a condo, and named it The Mark Twain in memoriam.<br><br>I liked Heidelberg- it's hard not to, with its stunning castle ruins hanging ...

... there you go.<br><br>Tuesday morning we left the Romantic Road, and drove onto the Castle Road ("Burgenstrasse" in German). This road is fairly LITTERED with castles. There are SO MANY CASTLES during the course of a 75-mile drive that only 1 guidebook I could find even bothered to mention more than one, and that book was the only one that even mentioned the Burgenstrasse. It's such an embarrassment of riches out in rural Germany. We drove westbound from Rothenburg (Bavaria ...

... To get to the top, we had to climb a very narrow concrete spiral staircase. And then somehow scoot over to let other people come down. I would try to stop and take photos along the way when a window would appear and Tom wouldn't let me stop...lol..."Go on now, go on", he would say. And once we got to the top, he kept saying, "When was the last time this was inspected?" I was laughing. But apparently, my laughter was not helping his fear. So we took some photos and ventured ...

Left Rothenburg and weaved our way along the country roads to Heidelberg. Beautiful countryside! Dad rented a little house in the fortified village of Dilsburg, it was built in 1750. Went out to dinner on the neckar river and sat on a balcony looking at ...

... shorts and sandals to work but no socks! The only problem with the hot weather is the bees here are very aggressive and seem hell-bent on drinking your beer or radler before you do!! Here are the highlights of the week: Eating and drinking in Neunheim (suburb across the river) Visiting Heidelberg Zoo Colleen spending the ...

Ens espera un viatge llarg, llarg, llarg. Escala a Nova York i tornem-hi a San Diego. Al principi interrogatori a les linies aeries (Delta airlines pels curiosos). Un cop demostrar que sóc "apanyó" (...por imperativo legal, sí, acepto) i que resideixo a Alemanya puc embarcar. Aquesta companyia no té res de l´altre mon... males películes i ràdio dolenta. Perfecte per a 19 hores de vol en total.

... the castle's cellars you will find the huge Heidelberg vat which was built to hold over 228,000 liters of wine (this joint must have been quite a party place). We woke early again and had a fantastic breakfast, marked our maps for our route and headed out for Heidelberg. Today was a shorter ride than yesterday but with some awesome mountain riding. However, I had trouble with yesterdays map pin, so the ride distance on the map does not ...
