Brühl

On our way back to Heidelberg we stopped in Brühl to meet our old friend and colleague from the Washington DC who was spending the holidays with his family and friends in his hometown
We met in the center of the town and walked to the baroque castle which has a nice park

It was pretty cold but sunny

Some of the water was frozen and of course Mia had to play with the ice

Then it was time to warm up in a cafe before continuing our drive back home

On the drive back the Autobahn A61 crossed a few river valleys that were covered in fog - a beautiful sight
