Virtuelle Reise: Heidelberg!

Greetings all,


I have begun my exciting virtual journey today.  I began in the Elite Hotel Heidelburg, a middle-class hotel in the heart of Heidelburg city.  This place is super-nice.  It won a gold award in the German National Tourist Board for 2012.  I enjoyed an excellent breakfast buffet of ham, fish, cheese, and fresh breads there.



After finishing up at the hotel, I strolled around the city.  I walked up some mighty long streets, and eventually found myself in the vicinity of the Romerstrasse.  I found the "Klein Engineering" establishment, a joint that specializes in the design and production of machine tools and renewable energy.  I looked in, but since I'm not into engineering, I moved on.






Later I discovered the St. Josefkrankenhaus, or St. Joseph Hospital.  It is run by the religious order which founded it, the Sisters of Charity.  Nearby is the St. Bonifatius Kirche, or St. Boniface Church.  It is a beautiful old Catholic church built in the Romanesque style of the early Middle Ages, some time before Gothic architecture was developed.




 After seeing these sights, stopped at a Cafe and reloaded.  I had walked several miles at this point, and I decided I had seen enough for the day.  I look forward to what the future will bring.  I will post next outside of Heidelberg!
