Hi Heidelberg Hei

We began the day by singing happy birthday both in English and in German to the birthday boy, Rohan. We then boarded the bus for a two-hour ride to the city of Heidelberg. Most of us slept until we arrived at around 10 am. The class was given about 15 minutes to go grab some coffee or croissants from one of the cafés in the area. After getting some much needed caffeine, the class headed out on "Philosophenweg" or "Philosophers' Way" to walk the path the great philosophers of the town took when they were deep in thought. After a bit of a hike and some photo shoot breaks, we arrived at the top of the hill, where we had a wonderful view of the city. Next, the class split up a little to get lunch and explore the city. A group of us went to a café where many of us enjoyed enormous hamburgers. We then walked around the city a bit and went in some different stores before setting up camp at the park on the water. We spent about an hour there, relaxing and enjoying the beautiful weather. At 3 pm, the class met up again to take a short hike up to a castle. The view of the city was great, and the castle provided for some cool pictures. We took our final class photo together with a view of Heidelberg in the background, and then made our way back down to ground level to board the bus back to Filderstadt. We have family time for the rest of the trip, and I know everyone is looking forward to enjoying their last days in Germany.
