our first weekend!

So today we went to Heidelberg and saw Heidelberg Castle! its an amazing castle dating back hundreds of years! ( i forget the date but i think it was either 1300 or 1400) it had an amazing history!

we first took the train from Landstuhl to Heidelberg. the town is so cute! it seriously looks like it just came out of Disneyland! i didn't know little German towns looks like they do in the movies! i got some sausage and sauerkraut and gelato (yes my day revolves around food). then we took a STEEP hike up this mountain to the castle! the view from up there was so amazing! it was like nothing ive eve seen before. you could see the chaple the castle the rhine river and bridges! it was breath taking! we took a guided tour of the castle and that was great because we learned all the history! i was excited because some of it had to do with chuch and even refernces to king Henry the 8th and it made me think of the tudors. parts fo the catle are in runins because of wars fires and it was even struk by lighting twice!
after the castle we went and walked aorund the town. as we were walking my friends molly and jesssica and i kind of got serperated from our group and this man with a lot of people follwoing him apporched us and tried to sell us stuff. it was so weird! he was wearing a mask and and county jain jump suit. it was like a big joke and people were laughing but i sware i felt like i was on jack ass or something they were trying to sell us like lacy underwhere and vodka shooters!
thats another thing about germany, they dont have any laws against open containers so on trains taxis , walking around town ,everywhere peolpe have beer in bottles or cups what ever! its crazy people are just so much more laied back about it! i think america could learn a little from them haha
miss you all and love you very much
