Hi Erich,

I was there 10 years ago and it really is a beautiful town...

ok wing-nutz here ya go the ride up to the Heidelberg Schloss on a stinking narrow round surrounded with the very well to-do's in their villas. It was outrageously hot at about 100F plus in the morn and way to many foreigners for my tastes, the orientals and Spainards were especially rude this day crowding in front of everyone for pics and mixing up in the tour groups of ~~which there were at least 30 trying to shove their way through the many gates of the Shloss.
the end result was always standing posing in the photos - oh well. it was a beautiful place undergoing some very serious restoration as the towers were covered in scaffolds and plastic besides be built up and around as evident in some of the photos. it will look familiar to some and truly the views from the large protective walls are quite impressive over the Neckar
Baroque amidst the Medievel ~
a short story the enxt pic is in memeory of the two little bro's that got up high on the restoration and fell to their deaths so the mother had her husband resurrect if you will the stone commemoration to the two ......sad
across the courtyard to the high wall, the Fortress was pounced upon by the French under Louis the XIV in the last 1600's and burned, some of the walls are gone forever, the turreted towers for the most part are history though talk of being restored and some of the roof lines are also missing ........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ more of the Schloss later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes contrary to waht Frankisch people believe, they are in Bavaria!!!! They need to get over it and deal with it.
That is what I tell all my Frankische friends and what I will tell them until I die. They talk **** about the good old Schwabians and I will talk **** about them. Besides my thread is not about on the area that I live in, but also about Bavaria as a whole....

Bavaria declares independence from Germany. Franken declares itself independent from Bavaria and Germany issues passports to them. Bavarian troops enter Franken and in response German troops enter Franken and attack Bavaria.
Will the US support Bavaria? Or Germany?
Sorry, I know it is the wrong thread, but I just had to do it

Only question the US has..."Will this affect Oktoberfest?"
Eric, you're killing me over here! Those picks of beer and lunch (whatever it was, it looked good...is that spatzel?) were kickers. I'm 25 minutes from lunch and I'm looking at a good ole' tuna salad sandwich and a diet coke.
Great, just wonderful...
