Luca in Strasbourg

For his last full day in Heidelberg we took Luca to Strasbourg - about a ninety minute drive away. This way he could add France to the list of countries he had visited during his three months in Europe.


 Our first stop was a market in the city center



The cathedral - Strassburger Münster

The Petite France section of the old town

Luca in Speyer

For his first full day in Heidelberg Luca picked a trip to Speyer, which has an cathedral and a science and technology museum






The museum also offered some entertainment for the younger visitors


 

Luca never got to see the cathedral - there was a big fun fair next to the museum which they checked out instead


They checked out the fun house


 Almost like a day at the Arlington county fair
 

 Luca tried some shooting

A visit by Luca

At the end of his three months stay in Europe Luca came for short visit to Heidelberg. The only flight available from Sicily went to Frankfurt Hahn which is actually quite some ways from Frankfurt - and from Heidelberg

 But all went well and he arrived on time
