Bill and Ruth's Big Adventure Day 8

Mom and Dad's last day in Heidelberg was fun, but a little melancholy because we knew they had to leave the next day. Once we convinced Mom that she didn't really need 10 hours to pack, and reminded her that there's beer at this restaurant we were going to, she was out the door (zoom!) and we were on our way. Tony and Dad climbed up some 240 steps to the top of the cathedral. And as if that wasn't enough, we took them for a walk up to the Philosopher's Walk. Dad had not one, but TWO ice cream treats after our walking adventure! I will never forget this trip with Mom and Dad. I hope we can convince them to come back. We were so very impressed with their high energy level and resilience! We love you!

Bill and Ruth's Big Adventure Day 7

The day of shopping. Our Bill had a difficult time shopping on the streets of Heidelberg, so I went to help him out a bit while Tony ate a banana split and drank coffee with Mom. We had a wonderful dinner and Dad bought Tony a liter of beer for the drive home. Ruth was a little upset because she wanted one of her own, but she soon saw the error of her ways. So it was back to diet soda pop for Mom! More beer for us!

YUM! Germans love their ice cream and so do we!
More beer, please. No, Occifer, I haven't been drinking.


Little man...

He is so handsome!

Awwww...I love that girl! No, not me, Mom!
