Schloss in Heidelberg

Here I am with mom and Tanja in front of a gigantic wine barrel (Grosses Fass) into which the wine producers living around Heidelberg had to pour 10% of their wine as a tax. It was built in 1751 from 130 oak trees and it holds about 58,000 gallons of wine.

The obligatory picture by the exploded gun powder turret at Heidelberg Schloss. I'm feeling so romantic!

Here I am with mom, and our friends Tanja and Stefen. They took us around Heidelberg to see the sights, including the philosopher's walk and the castle. You can't see very well, but Tanja is 8-months pregnant! I can't wait to meet my new German cousin after she (?) is born.
