05/12/2007 / Lorsch trip to the 3-City game
short 13 clock Godi and I were in Lorsch. There was the "3-cities-game" taking place between the towns of Bensheim, Hepppenheim and Lorsch in the space between the Benedictine monastery and the town hall.
Before we strolled past the monastery of Lorsch and my Godi told me that the monastery is very famous and that it is a world heritage site even. Here is a link to more information. http://www.lorsch.de/stadt/kultur/te-kloster.shtml?navid=222 . We strolled a bit through the pedestrian zone. On the market square were the preparations for the game in full swing.
in time by 13 clock it was then going on with the game. The teams in the cities Bensheim, Heppenheim and Lorsch competed against each other. The teams had to attend some games and won every game, each city could collect many points. Winner of the game was the city that ended up the most points.
Each city had a ballet club there. The ballet companies (Bensheim, only girls, Heppenheim, only girls, Lorsch, boys and girls). At the beginning of the game had each group perform their choreographed dance. (Bensheim, Hip Hop;? Heppenheim, techno and Lorsch, jazz) But then, the music of each group exchanged. = Lorsch Bensheim, Heppenheim Bensheim and Lorsch = = Heppenheim. The ballet groups were housed in rooms around the square where they had to practice about 4 hours to choreography.
was the next task for all teams: A few members of each group were required to Elferat, a brass band that plays the Narrhallarmarsch and a deckle speech should also put forward yet. Also in this task was time to the final.
The remaining candidates had in the 4 hours from other games diligently collect points. For example, games like (potato peeling; bed in from and, in the audience raise money - the money was donated to a children's garden -; stack boxes, Mayor Cladding; general education) and other games.
The winners and the total number of points were known, where in the evening.
had the final of the Eelferat and the brass band in each city on the stage and the speech made paper had to be carried forward. In fact, all cities, all three tasks had met terrific! For each part gabs 50 points, so for the carnival task a total of 150 points.
After the performances of carnival societies measured by an applause meter, the volume of applause in decibels.
Last but not least the dance groups presented their newly choreographed dances. Was to see really amazing, what were presented in a relatively short time but the dances in the individual but for groups, new music so perfectly. Here, too, by applause meter, the volume measured, and the city with the most decibel got 50 points.
the host city had Lorsch with 1,150 points. Heppenheim finished in second place with 50 points behind with 800 points and Bensheim landed in third place.

trip to Heidelberg, Heidelberg Castle tour
Shortly after 12 made Godi, Uncle George and I are on the way to the beautiful city of Heidelberg. We drove over the mountain Heppenheim road to Heidelberg. In Heidelberg, we were looking first for a while after a parking lot. We were then finally after a long search in a parking garage. From the car park we were soon in the old town. Comfortably we marched endlessly Heidelberger pedestrian zone along which already offered us a magnificent view of the castle.
After a few meters, we sat outside a cafe where we drank a trifle
.
Then we continued walk through the pedestrian zone.
With the cable car we drove up to the castle. From the castle we had a beautiful view of Heidelberg. And you could also make nice pictures!
top we walked around a bit and I took the opportunity a couple of nice photos of . make Even a few of the castle itself which I am unfortunately not all have succeeded so well as I had hoped. L
Godi and I have visited the castle courtyard and the giant barrel.
The drum was built by Elector Carl Theodor in 1751 and holds 221,726 liters.
top the castle, we ate a little something and then it went back down the mountain railway. The way back to the parking garage seemed, despite a small shortcut to no end. In the pedestrian zone, I had already discovered on the way a shop with gummy bears. There, we turned an even, where I still spending spree with a few souvenirs. Especially as the gummy bears were packed very original anyway and I still needed a few gifts. This time, I could then also serve as "original gifts. J
When we finally arrived in the parking garage, we had exhausted all our three cases were in the car and you as against 18:30 clock in Wald-Erlenbach arrived. My uncle said later in the evening, the day that we total of about 7 km have come That was really my standards very much. And I must say that Heidelberg is a beautiful city and is now one of my favorite cities in Germany.
05/14/2007 / trip to Heppenheim & Viernheim
The new week began, my uncle and I am (you could still sit outside) with a game of chess. My Godi had to carry a doctor's appointment. At first it looked for me quite good, but after my uncle won after all. But, I did not expect otherwise. J
We wanted the afternoon to Heppenheim Bensheim. A little walk through the pedestrian streets and visit the cities. We had parked well in Heppenheim, because it started to rain already, slowly at first, then it became over time more and more. We marched through the pedestrian zone and then we bought a few things to MÜLLER and I'm not running out of postcards.
meantime it had been raining for so that we felt that it would be nonsense, even to go to Bensheim. So I then said to Godi, if not we should go to Viernheim. We did then. During the journey, the rain was getting stronger.
are in Viernheim it the "Rhein-Neckar-Zentrum" a large shopping arcade.
http://www.rhein-neckar-zentrum-viernheim.de/de/home/home.html There, we strolled around a few hours. Here I have not really found something. But you can not spend money louder. J I have eaten there a really tasty strawberry ice cream completely.
the late afternoon we were back in Wald-Erlenbach. In the evening I was working quite a while to write postcards. J
15/05/2007 trip to Heppenheim, Dom & Marketplace
It had rained from Monday to Tuesday most of the night and Tuesday it was still raining. In the morning we hung around in the cozy apartment. Afternoons are Godi and I do then to Heppenheim for some shopping and we wanted to again market place, so maybe I could take some pictures.
had during our purchase of the rain and the sun actually came out even. We went to the "Cathedral of the mountain road. We visited the cathedral. I made the cathedral a few pictures and also the market place.
overlooking the market square and town hall Heppenheim:
We are yet tasted in a English cafe where I ordered a delicious sorbet, which was filled in a frozen orange, ice cold but it has totally delicious.
From the café, it also had a great view of the market place. Heppenheim is also ne real nice and best city.
05/16/2007 / trip to Mannheim
On the penultimate day, we were still in Mannheim . I did not until now that Mannheim is Bawu already. I always thought that Mannheim would still belong to RLP. Well, I've at least learned again what to do so. J
had also used that day the rain again. Where it was still dry at the start of the morning. But, as you put in it does not hold true.
marched in Mannheim, we only briefly through the pedestrian zone, while my uncle had ever retired to the restaurant in Kaufhof.
Godi and I have marched in the direction of the Water Tower, landmark of Mannheim. Unfortunately it was not worth it to take out the camera because it has so been raining that could have been detected in the pictures probably nothing anyway.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannheimer_Wasserturm here but I have just found an interesting link, with some historical information and pictures.
Godi and I were then on their way to the Kaufhof. There we ate a snack lunch and watched us in the bookstore for anything. Very interesting books to offer to the Kaufhof. But since I bought before nerve while only new books, I could not strike again.
So we were at this relatively early afternoon at home, where we made ourselves then just a little bit comfortable. On this day, it stopped raining no longer.

departure
And already was my last day in Heppenheim come. How quickly the time passed again! Even this morning it was raining in torrents.
I had packed most of the night before in my suitcase. Just in time for lunch Simon and Eve should pick me up then. They were also there on time and Godi had a totally delicious food cooked. After dinner we chatted a bit and then it was already time for adoption.
Simon, Eva and I were on our way back. To 18 clock we were back home in Strohn.
I have really experienced a lot, even if I had seen you a bit more. As for the tw. bad weather was not possible. My Godi but has already said that I should then another year come on, we would make up for everything. Very happy, I say as only. The Odenwald and the mountain road is very, very worth seeing. There are endless forests and beautiful half-timbered buildings. I love half-timbered houses!
A big thank you again to my Godi and my uncle for the wonderful holiday!
