Day 1 of our trip



Weve made it to Germany! After our long flight we walked into the Altstadt (old town area) of Heidelberg so we could walk up to the ruins of the Heidelberg Schloss(castle). The castle was the regional seat of power from the 1400 to 1700. The castle was damaged first in battles during the 1700's then by fire caused by a lightening strike. After a few false starts, rain showers (note all the new umberellas in pic one) and toilet stops we finally made it into the Castle grounds. The walk helped to keep our mind off our loss of sleep. Off to the European Junior and Young rider champs tomorrow after a visit to the Brookhouse stud home of stallions including Wie Weltmeyer, Diamond Hit and many others.
