First day in Heidelberg







I flew into Frankfurt local time 8:00 a.m. which is a 8 hour difference from Mountain Time. The last couple days have really been jammed together and I feel a bit confused on my time as I sit here and type at midnight in Germany. After arriving at the airport, I sat and took it all in, rested and read a book while I waited for Carolin to arrive at 1:00p.m. Her parents and some cousins came and picked us up. They were extremely kind and made me feel very welcome. German is spoken most all of the time but some english popped in from time to time for my sake. I REALLY need to learn the language now! Felt a bit overwhelmed after first getting here but things are going to be great. We went back to Carolin's parents home and visited a while before she and a friend of her's brought me into town to walk around a bit. It is very beautiful here. The pictures are taken at the Heidelberg Schloss (castle). Not much on the agenda as of yet but I will keep ya posted.
