Ok,
So we stayed with Rachel Gill and her family on post in Heidelberg. Her family is AWESOME! (as well as herself) We were immediately treated like family, her mom found all of this stuff for us to do, we were treated like kings, didn't have to air-dry getting out of the shower, have done laundry twice (wow!), made some new friends, were carted around whenever we wanted, were left chocolates next to our beds, and ate, drank, and were very very merry.
I cannot thank Rachel and her family enough.
E Coli is a MAJOR problem here (in Germany) right now. 17 people have died and over 1,000 have been hospitalized. I think we are alright though.
Heidelberg is a lovely little town with pretty much one strip of shops and restaurants. We took a day trip to Trier yesterday, which was really cool because it is the oldest town in Germany.
Last night we had a beer with the highest alcohol content in all of Germany. It was wretched. I am glad I can say that I drank it, and even more glad to say that I never will again.
Tomorrow it is off to Paris. Absinthe, The Lapin Agile, Eiffel Tower Wedding Party (everyone should read that play), The Moulin Rouge, and plenty of other shenanigans to get into.
Love,
Brandon
