My First Few Days in Heidelberg

I can't believe that Wednesday is already coming to a close. This means I've already been here for four days, but I still am not quite unpacked. The last few days blur together as we have been running around getting to know the city.

Today was our first day of classes and practicing, both of which I have been looking forward to. I went to the German class even though I am not enrolled because I want to learn a little bit to help me get around. It was very fun! Ich bin ein Berliner :o)

We got our bikes yeterday and I had a little adventure riding to the practice rooms because I wasn't quite sure where they were. I think I'm already getting a hang of riding bikes around here after our five hour bike ride. There are a lot of pedestrians and bikes, not to mention the cars. It was so much fun, and I'm looking forward to being active these next three months. Heidelberg is in a valley, so there are great hikes all around.

This week is somewhat crazy as we have been walking around the city learning where everything is. We visited the castle yesterday, and had a beautiful view of the city. Next week we will start our normal schedule and have more time to practice and do homework. I'm looking forward to starting a routine in this new place.

I'm heading to the practice rooms now so I can get another hour in before I sleep tonight. I haven't been taking many pictures because I'm trying to take it all in this week, but they will be coming soon.
