9/30 Sunday part 2 + 10/1 Monday part 1

After lunch we were able to get into the Holy Spirit Church (where Dave's great-great-grandfather was baptised)...






Afterwards, we grabbed some dinner and went back to the hotel..

10/1 Monday - part 1

After breakfast, we walked around looking for more addresses of where ancestors lived...and enjoyed the sights as we went...






...and the day improved greatly when we came across a small chocolatier's shop!

...we walked some more while we waited for St. Peter's to be open...



next up...St. Peter's (Peterskirk)..

9/30 - Sunday in Heidelberg-part 1

Of course, it being Sunday, we knew we couldn't get into the churches until at least afternoon...we already knew where Holy Ghost was, but we needed to find St. Peter's...which actually was only a couple of blocks from our hotel...and right across the street from the University's library...










and then we wandered around ...

 
...we found the Jesuit church around the corner from St. Peter's...great statues....





 
more of this later...when we go inside...






Eventually we found the street where Dave's great-great-great grandfather lived...and there's still an address there!





...more in next post...we packed a lot into that first full day!
