Hey people, it's finally my
turn for R&R! I flew into Germany on the morning of the 16th,
and my days don't start counting until the 17th. It's sort of
like getting a free day, but not really. I'm in Heidelburg,
Germany right now, and I'll be heading over to Rothenburg later on.
This is a model of Heidelburg Castle. This is how it's supposed to look if the French hadn't destroyed most of it.
This is a model of the Castle now.
The ruins are preserved and many areas are still open to tours.
Wish I had more time to just walk around a bit and explore. Maybe
next time.
And that's me standing in one of the
ruined towers. You can still see the big chunck that just slid
off. This is one of the better pictures, after I fixed it up in
photoshop so you don't see fingers in the shot. The people here
can't take pictures for shit. It's like they've never seen a
digital camera before. Next time I'll show you pics of the garden
of Schwetzingen Castle. It's awesome!

cool, congrads on your first day without having to worry about flying bullets. ps. ....can you steal me that model of the castle? Thank you! ^^
Hey bud, nice pic's, except for the one with the bozo on it(and no I'm not referring to old lady behind the castle replica)...LOL. Glad to see you in a lush green background for a change as opposed to the dead desert. Hey, the last two people I have known to go to Germany have ended up getting married over there (one, my cousing, the other, an old friend). Maybe you'll make it 3 for 3.
On another note, the French are always destroying stuff aren't they. They don't like german castles...gone (or almost, can't even do that right), they don't like US as leader of the world they become a pest...what gives.
How long are you gonna be there?
German countryside looks mighty nice, maybe next time we should conquer them.
I'll never understand, German's can make the best cars, but they can't use a camera, must be all the beer they drink. Take care bud.
Hey! Looks like youre enjoying yourself. Have fun =] I always wanted to go to Germany
*sigh* i need another vacation.
Cool!
mmm....german chocolate cake....
lookin good derek
Have lots of fun! Is James over there with you?
hahaha.....dude...you got fat
watch for italians =p
That picture makes you look taller....lol...I'm glad you're having fun sargeant!!! More pics please.
You do look taller. But then again that replica is really small!! LOL
The castle was destroyed twice. First in the Thirty Years war and then by French troops. Looks good for a building that was taken down twice, doesn't it?
On another note, did you guys hear that Trump and some others (a growing movement) want to rebuild the Twin Towers the way tehy were before 9/11? I say, let's do it! And before you ask, yes I would work on the top floor of either tower. Just thought you might want to know what's going on in our neck of the woods, Derek.
I can't call you with the # you gave me, what the hell.
MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
