Heidelberg

        I had the chance to visit the historic city of Heidelberg during my stay in Germany. I wish I could post pictures from other cities and towns I visited, but that will have to wait. Never the least, I must admit that I was very impressed by the festival culture of Germany. I was staying in Mannheim and with my free time from my internhip at BASF AG, I went to the weinfests on the weinstrasse with  my friends. I attended many concerts and tried every single type of wine available. Very recommended. After I scan my other pictures, I will post them under a new section as well. 

• The first picture is a view of the city of Heidelberg from the castle (or Schloss). The city itself has a very warm feeling to it due to its nice, old houses. Heidelberg also hosts a university that is well known in medicine.
• The schloss, unlike many other historical buildings, was not bombed during the second world war. However, some of it has fallen apart due it its age. It is definately worth a visit if you go to Germany.
• The schloss and the city stand in so much harmony together that the castle has almost become a symbol of the city.
