Finding new trails

Since we are not traveling at the moment we have more time to explore the city and surrounding area. When doing a walk in the hills across the river we discovered a small path that branches off the famous Philosophers way and goes past old gardens and walls

The path looped around the mountains and we ended up with a view of the city

Finally some Rain

After more than six weeks without rain the weather finally changed and some rain clouds appeared. During a afternoon hike up the Gaisberg - which borders the old town - we even got caught in a short thunderstorm

Evening bike ride

After the long hike yesterday we went for short bike ride in the evening along the river Neckar

Zwingenberg Again

Two weeks after our fist visit we decided to drive to Zwingeberg again. This time we didn't stay along the river but walked up into the hills.

On the the way back we discovered a spot with a great view and a very comfy place to take a break

The new Guitar

Mia enjoys playing he flute she has started to learn in music class at school. Maybe its a good idea to get a classical guitar - the old one had to stay in Arlington since it didn't fit into a moving box - at to play together. Mia is really excited and wants to start playing as well

The guitar is used and an old friend an guitar player gave some input on what to buy

Zwingenberg

It has turned really nice and warm like summer and we wanted to venture a bit further from Heidelberg. So we drove along the river Neckar to the place were Mia had been camping with the girls scouts last summer

We found a great patch of Bärlauch and picked two bags

At home Ji made a few great dishes with dumplimgs: Scambled eggs, dumplings and  a pesto

Finding a quite spot

On our bike tour through the fields and gardens north of Heidelberg we found a quite sunny spot by a side canal of the river Neckar
