Wayback machine: Heidelberg, Sep 2007

I've mentioned before that 2007 was a busy travel year for me. I made three trips to Germany, and this was the second of the three, in September for a weeklong set of meetings at work. My uncle Herb came along with me, and it was a great trip all around.

Here's a view of the Altstadt in Heidelberg from the castle overlooking the city:

The castle itself was pretty spectacular, and I'm not even sure this pictures can do it justice:

Surrounding the ruined castle were some very pretty gardens, perfect for touristy photos:

Beyond the castle, Heidelberg is a city of small delights, like this statue we saw in the Altstadt:

I'm looking forward to going back some time.
