Germany: Pictures (including Heidelberg!). April 3, 2004

Well, I went off to Heidelberg yesterday, so now I am posting some pi ctures that I took.

Here is the castle viewed from below (the building up high):

And when you want to shoot people away from your castle:

But it didn't keep everyone away. The French did a little damage:

But despite the attack, you still get a nice view of the city:

And you could still drink your wine.
Either from your small barrel:

Or your big one:

When you were done drinking your wine, you could kick back:

Or watch the frogs sit on top of each other:

Or you could just pose for a picture (left: Katalin, a former German teacher. Right: Diana, another UConn student):

Or you could get back down to your nice river out of your castle and pose for another picture (same people):

Or just be a fool, like me, and stick your head in a money statue:

While in Heidelberg, you can look at a couple fountains:

Or just look at the former German teacher's cute kid, Samuel. He's 6 and he already speaks German and English, which is pretty cool. I can' t tell if he prefers one language over another (sometimes he'll slip f rom one to the other):

Back in Freiburg, up in the Black Forest, there is a workers' paradis e. They get to carry buckets of hot tar around:

One of them walked to far without taking a break, and is now stuck in the snow forever. Only in such a workers' paradise are people inspire d to work so hard!

Or, of course, you can look at me.
I'll either stare at you:

Or talk to a dial-tone, because no one calls me:
