Heidelburg/ Bad Durkheim

The last group of pictures are from our weekend trip around the area. We first took the train to Heidelburg and spent the evening celebrating a birthday with a German friend of Lisa's. The next day we found a great hostel near the train station and then headed to Bad Durkheim for what we heard is one of the best wine festivals in Germany. We had a great time at the festival! We were able to shop, participate in a wine testing, and eat tons of German food and desserts. After wandering through the venodor booths, we spent the rest of our time in the huge tents that were lined with tables with a band and a dance floor in the center. We were surronded by hundreds of people drinking, singing, and dancing. It was a great atmosphere and a fun celebration to participate in!
