Biked to Heidelburg with this crew. It is a beautiful old city with a castle and great restaurants. Word is out, though, so there are many tourists!
We had a great visit with our friends, Fairouz and Sherif, who recently moved from Berlin to Ludweigshaven/Mannheim for work. It’s definitely a different vibe, but we found plenty of things to do. It was nice to have time to visit these friends for more than a few days, which is usually all we have since we live so far apart.
A view towards Ludweigshaven from the Park near Fairouz and Sherif’s temporary apartment. It is very industrial here. Mannheim is a bit more exciting and smells like chocolate due to the chocolate factory nearby.
Just 10K away from Heidelburg, we decided we needed a photo (please don’t mind my outfit!)
All things Porsche!
German cuisine!
We cooked in during most of our visit, but here are some quintessential German dining pictures. It’s a mixture including lots of meat, wine, beer, Haribo, and Korean…
Exploring Mannheim Park by bike. Germany is very pretty in the Fall and reminded us of home.
