time to catch this thing up.
last weekend i went to heidelberg on saturday morning and stayed until sunday evening. it was a weekend full of street festivals. saturday afternoon rachel and i walked around in town and then got ice cream with ricardo and julie. in the evening we went to handschuhsheim, which is a district of heidelberg, for a kerwe. kind of like a fair. there were rides and food and bier (of course). handschuhsheim has a little castle called tiefburg, and they had beer and music inside. rachel and i had a pretty good time watching all the drunk old people trying to dance. they thought they were amazing. i didn't take my camera, but when i get more photos (and video. oh oh) from rachel, i'll post them.
the americans: brad, rachel, me
rachel, me, rugby player juan from paraguay, and julie.
on sunday, the whole ziegelhausenlandstraße and neuenheimerlandstraße were closed off to autos and there were bikes everywhere! all four of the herzbergs and rachel and i investigated everything. the boys played in a hay maze, we ate bratwurst, and just walked around. a lot of the stuff at the street festival pertained to the environment and living green(er).
on tuesday, i went to freiburg to listen in on a meeting about project access that i'm helping with. yesterday i was gone for 12 hours to a little grocery store in a tiny town (dorf) of 1400 people. it is called a dorf laden. most of the time was spent riding in a charter bus. it was an interesting store to see though. this little town was having trouble because all of their services were leaving, so they came together to create a little store with groceries, a bank, a travel agency, you can get your driver's license, and there are also a dentist and doctor nearby.
and man, what is the deal with socks and sandals? unattractive. and what is the point? it isn't like your feet can get a breeze.
