Heidelberg castle ("Schloss") overlookis the city below

Heidelberg and its castle above the city, overlooking the Neckar river (I think it was) is of note because everything there was not bombed by the Americans, at the request of the American general, at the time, who it's said, could have ordered it razed to the ground, as many other cities around it, were.
It's believed he loved the town and spared it from destruction.

Thus the castle remains untouched and exactly as it was many hundreds of years ago.

As it happened, there was a wedding in progress - good place for one. the couple had selected a dark green beautiful '71 250SE cabrio ( I think it is ) wedding vehicle. Nice choice - far better than a white Lincoln town car stretch limo, which to me, is rather vulgar.





We went on to view the castle...
