Heidleberg

Sorry for not posting these along with the comments on Heidelberg. But here are a few pics. If you are ever in Heidelberg Germany please visit Destille, the mellow but highly popular bar known for the tree growing in the middle of the bar. They are also known for a quite unique flaming tobassco shot. It is schnapps with tobassco, topped with a lemon and a sugar cube that is lit on fire. You wait for the fire to go out, eat the lemon and sugar quickly, (even though it is hot and tastes pretty horrid) and then take the shot...AWESOME, but you should only do it once, it is pretty intense, we ended up taking 3...bad idea, trust me. At this bar, myself, and two of the other Americans ran into a group of a bout 11 "pirates"(aka American Mariens) as they called themselves, drank a lot, and had a damn good time. We stayed in the youth hostel which was conviently located next to a zoo. Every morning we woke up and said good morning to the elephants which we could see from our second floor window and also the bears and fox which were located in an outdoor area practically direcly next to the street. We only had 2 days in Heidelberg and were all still very jet lagged. But we managed to walk around, see some cool buildings, eat some very good italian food, do some shopping at H&M and get a glimpse of the beautiful castle that is settled in the hills that over look the river. Did i mention it rained the whole time? UGH, but everything was sooooo green, i didn't mind too much.
