The castle had a cathedral with the most intricate stained glass I have ever seen. My grandpa was a glazer and I couldn't help but think that he would love to see it. In addition to having a lot of detail, the windows also had a variety of color schemes. There was an entire window with a purple theme, which seemed unusual to me.
Along the side of the hill with the castle, we stopped and had lunch at a winery with an amazing view of the city. We each had lunch and two glasses of wine and the bill was only about $25... we enjoyed the view there for over two hours.
We made our way to Heidelberg yesterday and shared a compartment with an American couple from the midwest who were very friendly. We had met them the day before and tried to find the Prague castle together.
Our couch surfing adventures have finally started. We are staying with a 30 year old German guy who hosts someone pretty much every week and is into improv, Japanese martial arts, playing the chello, but not beer... what an unusual German! We cooked dinner for him and his friend last night and it was nice getting to know them. I think he knows more about American cinema than we do.
Okay, off to explore Heidelberg. I'll insert pictures later...
