Heidelberg - Dropping In For a Few Days

It Wasn't My Idea, Subtle Pressure Was Applied
Just a few days prior to my scheduled flight to Singapore I got a call from my Belgian boss who pretended to forget I was leaving.  Though I'd just reminded him the day before he played his game said it was a political problem for me not to go to Germany for a useless meeting with various useless people.  So, three hrs later I stepped off a French bullet train in Heidelberg.

Germany - Vellcome to the Boonstockles

Three Hrs on a Train - but a World of Difference
If you could combine Germany's efficiency and technology with Frenchie cuisine, you'd really have something.  Here we were in a small town near Heidelberg, in schwanks environs at software meetings eating boiled slop for lunch.  It's just three hours away by train and after two days, as hard as this is to believe, I couldn't wait to get back to Paris.  That's saying something.
