A streetcar runs through it...

Our new neighborhood that is. Today we parked our car in front of our new apartment and hopped an S-Bahn or streetcar/tram to downtown Heidelberg. The S-Bahn stop is a two minute walk from the apartment we'll move to at the beginning of March. After a 10 minute ride, you end up in the old part of Heidelberg. In the summer, this part of Heidelberg fills up with tourists from all around the world.

Today it was sunny. We walked down the main drag of old Heidelberg just to see what it was like. In the next few weeks we'll return and go up the mountain to the famous castle ruins.
The kids pretty much behaved themselves although Emily was demanding star treatment. Lucky for her Sophia love to push the stroller!
Soon after we arrived we wondered into a mall. On Sundays, almost everything is closed but we found a great ice cream shop open.

We also discovered that this mall is home to one of Heidelberg's inside public pools. It's going to be nice to go there by S-Bahn as finding parking can be a real bummer.

B bought some chestnuts from a vender but seems to be the only one that likes them. After walking for about half an hour or more, the kids were getting restless so we hoofed it back to the car and came home. We're all eager to move into our new apartment.
