Travel guides proudly write that Heidelberg is one of Germany's top destinations. However, last Saturday Tom and I were the only diehards looking at the bright, full moon from the bridge over the huge castle. It was freezing! A local gentleman told us it was colder than it had been for forty years! (don't worry I had my long underwear on)
Every hour we sipped a hot beverage ( coffee, hot chocolate, tea , gluhwein, etc). Housed in the old town district is the city's world-famous University. 28,000 students attend college. We peeked into classroom buildings and viewed several art exhibits.
I purchased my first pair of reading glasses, time marches on you know. Germany's coffee giant, Tchibo, stocked them. They have a lifestyle shop, changing most merchandise monthly. Affordable and good quality items in my opinion. I've also bought a winter coat, cheese knives, chocolate grinder, CD, brownie pan, placemats, pillows and Tom a travel grip. (coffee is sold every now and then)
Heidelberg has many beautiful buildings because it was not bombed in World War I or II. Residents seem to enjoy the finer things of life. The largest U.S. Army Base in Europe is in this city.
