On our way back from India Dad and I made a short visit to our relatives in Germany.  My uncle (Dad's elder brother), aunt, and my two cousins and their families all live in Germany.  We mainly stayed in the vicitnity of Frankfurt where my cousins live.  Since Heidelberg is close by, I was able to visit the wonderful city where I lived as a student.




On our first day in Germany, my dad, uncle, and I visiting Heidelberg.  For some strange reason I felt compelled to take a picture of this weird looking statue in front of the Hauptbahnhof (main train station).  I think it is some strange camel, horse, whatever thing, and I was always fascinated by it during my studying days some six years ago.


      

The pic of my dad and uncle is Am Heumarkt, the street where my living quarters Gustav Radbruch Haus is (the main building in the pic.)  We had a chance to go inside and I managed to take a picture of the outside of the actual room I lived in when I studied in Heidelberg from 2001 till 2002.  




My dad and I hanging out at Marstallhof.  I always loved coming here and having a beer during the summer days in Heidelberg.  The cafe inside is where I would go for a hot chocolate during the winter days and also for studying.  


 

The picture on the left is of the Peterskirche (Peters Church) and the bulding on the right is the Bibliothek (library). Two very nice buildings in Heidelberg.




Almost anywhere in Heidelberg is a scenic view.  This is a pic of some of the university buildings and the castle.
