Skylar and I will be spending five months (May - October) in Heilbronn, Germany with as much additional travel as we can. Here I will post updates and pictures from our adventures.

24 Mai - Day of rest

Staying out half the night didn't phase Skylar much... he was up and ready to go at 7am this morning.  I, on the other hand, was sore and drifted in and out of sleep for another 4 hours.  Hard to sleep when you share a room/ bed with a 10 year old.  

Finally I got up and put together a random fruit salad for breakfast since we were out of just about everything.  We got ready and went to the grocery store, but they were closed.  We tried another and realized almost everything was closed.  All I can think of is that it is Sunday, so I guess this little town shuts down for holy days.  Last Sunday we were in Heidelberg and I didn't notice the town being so dead, but we were at the climbing gym on the outskirts, so I'm not sure.  At least now I know not to put off grocery shopping till Sunday.  We decided to just keep riding and exploring... going down streets we hadn't been down before and checking the place out.  As usual, we ended up in town.  It was slightly more lively, but the shops were still mostly closed.  We found a place to eat and got a late lunch.  We rode around and explored a few more hours, but didn't bring our cameras.  It's kind of nice just riding with no destination to get lost getting to.  Heilbronn may be small and somewhat boring compared to the bigger cities in Germany, but it is beautiful.
