We are staying on the Army post in Heidelberg with Mom's friends Cindy and David. Yesterday we went into the city and walked around, just trying to stay awake until 8pm - harder than it sounds after all night on an airplane. We had a great dinner at a local cafe and excellent gelati at another shop.
Today we went on a Rhine River cruise booked through the USO. It was a long day, but lots of fun. The boat first stopped at St. Goar, where we had a tour of immense castle ruins. We had an awesome tour guide Gunther that had us crawling through dark tunnels that were only about 3 ft wide by 3 ft. high for the full experience of defending a castle from attacks.
We then cruised further down the river to Rudesheim where we did some shopping and had dinner, including the traditional Rudesheim Kaffee. First the waitress poured Ausbach licquor in the cup and set it on fire. Then she poured in the coffee, and topped it off with whip cream and chocolate shavings. It was great!
Tomorrow we're off to Colmar, France - about a 2 hr. drive.
