Heidelberg #3

One of the other main features of the city is a stone bridge spanning the Rhine.  The first bridge was built by Romans, fell down eventually and rebuilt as a stone one.  The current bridge was opened in 1788.  Jer and I crossed the bridge three or four times... the second time over we noticed this on the side of it.  It marks flood lines and their years.  It's pretty cool.

Our last time over the bridge was at night.  I was pointing out the locks earlier in the day, I told Jer what the locks on bridges mean and he went out and bought us a lock.  We put our names on it and locked it on the bridge.  They had told us that they only light the castle for special occasions and that it wouldn't be lit, but we went out and it was.



















This was one of 2 or 3 pictures with all of us in it.
