Today was our first full day in Germany. At about 10 am we drove to the picturesque city of Heidelberg and wandered down the streets. We found a massive Christmas store and dove right in, we found everything from Coo-coo clocks to stuffed animals to matchbox scenes!
Then we found a kabob place (The Turks must love us, we've eaten at so many kabob places) and ordered too much. Then we found our way up an incredibly steep path to the castle. It's kind of a ruin but is home to the largest wine barrel ever made. It is bigger then most rooms and one could live well inside it. It was refilled only 3 times in it's life, probably because it holds 500,000 gallons and they used 150 oak trees to build it! The castle was attacked two times and destroyed by fire. So it's mainly a ruin, but they have rebuilt some parts of it.
After the castle we went to Mom's cousin's house and made peanut butter chicken. It was absolutely delicious.
