Today was a beautiful day because the sun was finally out!
Angie took us back to the Schloss (Castle) Heidelberg...becaue it turns out that we missed half of the outside grounds. There is a wall on the other side that is crumbled and you can see how thick the original castle walls are. It was pretty neat!
Then we went to back to the main street and visited the university museum and student prison.
apparently for the about 200 years the university was responsible for thier students and could punish them as necessary. So we went into this small building and up on the 3rd floor wwere these little cells with "graffitti" all over the walls that tells their story or advocates a cause.
Then we went to McDonalds and the Mac cafe. The McD's has a "starbucks" type coffee shop in it. The girls and I ordered 2 fries, 2 drinks, and a bottle of water and paid over 10Euros. That's like 15 American dollars! Needless to say that was the most expensive snack ever. But everything here is expensive.
Tonight they had English bible study and the girls were able to visit the church and see the print shop. We had a good time meeting the people. Tomorrow we will go see Bro. Duke in northern Germany for the weekend.
I am looking forward to the drive and seeing the rest of the country!

Hi Julia!! Your trip sounds amazing so far. Who went with you? I am going to ask my mom tomorrow where I lived, and I will let you know. I remember her walking me down a hill into town. I was in my stroller. I must have been about 3. I know my family loved living in Germany. I can't wait to hear more. The description of the food especially the bread is making my mouth water! Take care and can't wait to hear more!!
