So skip ahead a few weeks and I'm going to write about the recent Heidelberger Herbst which is an annual fall festival located in the Alstadt (old town) of Heidelberg. The festival involves flea markets a lot of food stands as well as beer stands and small concert venues. It was so exciting to see all the people that came to visit the town. We went early in the morning to check out the flea markets even at 930 in the morning it was hustling and bustling. It surprises me how much junk there was but they were all so many many antiques. However it was super expensive. For some small pieces of silverware anywhere from 12 to 50 Euros. What the real gym was the food. Everywhere were wood-grilled stands cooking bratwurst sausage, and variety of the other meats. There was even a spot that had roasted pig on a spit. I tried the roasted pig as well as some homemade paella! The payoff was very good the roasted pig was to die for. Juicy and flavorful it was unlike anything I've ever tried. All throughout the day they had concerts at the venues performed by many bands. I felt like a giddy school child! there were also a variety of beer stands. you could buy any liter of local beer in a bottle for only 3 euros. We ended up going there in the morning and coming back for the evening. We finished off the night by going to the Schloss and taking in the gorgeous views and not to mention the sounds! The one thing about living 4km away from the center of town, is that you want to stay out late and just hang around. However you know that it takes 25 min to get home which sometimes takes the excitement of finishing off the night. But nonetheless it was an awesome day! One of the best so far in Heidelberg!
