Heidelberg

Just how many steps was it up to the Heidelberg castle? It was just another climb in our stay in Germany...The climb to the castle in Esslingen with Claudia was much steeper...even Jazzy was pooped!! It was evident that the German nobility built for fortification while the French built for pleasure and let their old fortified castles rot! Our quads were well worked during this trip! It really helped to burn off all that sauerkraut and sausages and kuchen that we ate!!
