Heidelberg

Breakfast @ Denner (which is, by the way, a beautiful, hand-crafted hotel. Lots of love here.)
Cherie & Dianna & I felt sure enough of ourselves to walk down the Hauptstrasse and find the stairs (300+ of them) up the hill to the Castle. We stopped often to enjoy the view, and wondered about the people who live there. At lunchtime, we stopped and ate a snack. A man passed us ( he was eating his bread, too), and said "Mach es dir gemütlich." We did.
We went into the castle (Schloss), went through the Apothecary museum, and took a tour. The tour ended up in the Chapel, which had a picture of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus. I sang Omnes qui in Christo.. Had a conversation with the tour guide about smoking. We had a late lunch (Fish & chips) in the little place just outside the castle, where (I believe), Philip's dad once had to jump thru the windows to escape the police. (Too much partying inside, I think.) Cherie walked around and made a video.
Supper; pizza under the Kaufhof Galleria. Then Philip took us to the Skylounge, where we had a drink and sat and talked. Very nice.
Philip asked me to send him information about the "Left Behind" series. I will.
