Last week our friends Liz and Joe came to visit us for a few days in Heidelberg. They, like us, are spending the year living in Europe--Oxford, England to be exact--so we had lots to talk about concerning life abroad. They happened to get one of the last flights out of England before the whole volcanic ash fiasco. So their long weekend in Heidelberg turned into a 11 day adventure which involved them not only staying a few days longer in Heidelberg but also coming along with us on our previously planned trip to Cologne and Amsterdam and then taking an overnight ferry from there to England. Even though they didn't have to sleep on cots in the airport like other stranded travellers, they did have to stay in our tiny one room apartment and put up with travelling with Penelope.
Here are a few highlights from our week with Liz and Joe in Heidelberg...
