A walk in Heidelberg, Germany

In order to fight off the dreaded jet lack we went to the “walking street” in Heidelberg to grab something to eat and walk around a bit. The walk was nice as it got the blood flowing and helped to give us a little burst of energy.

Note: Grotesque a style of decorative art that features fantastic human and animal forms, often distorted into absurdity or ugliness. The word is derived from the Italian grotteschi, or grottoes, which refers to decorations found during the excavation of Roman houses around 1500.
