back tracking

Ok! Just had a wonderful day in Barcelona. But let's go back... Here are some pictures from the first day. We met up with Melissa and Al at the train station (they brought pastries!!), then took a tram through Heidelberg and to their apartment. It's a really nice little duplex next to a farm. They have a nice little garden in the back yard, and a comfy couch! After Richard and I set our stuff down and sat down for a minute, we headed to downtown Heidelberg to look around. It's really pretty and really touristy. The main downtown section is closed to cars, and is jam packed with people walking around. Most of the shops were closed because it was Sunday, but we looked in the windows and went in a few souvenir shops that were still open. There were two beautiful churches that were open that we went into, and there was a great view of the Heidelberg castle from the end of the street. We were going to have doenners for dinner, but the place that we were looking for wasn't where we thought it was, and we ended up having the German take on Mexican food. It had nothing to do with Mexico whatsoever, but it was delicious! After that we went down to an esplanade by the river and chilled out and watched the people. Was a great birthday!
