The last of Heidelberg

I woke up yesterday to a cool cloudy day and a sore throat! I guess the lack of sleep due to noisy room mates, the germs, and the fact that I haven't been drinking enough water have all contributed to a cold. Cold or not I headed down the street to the train station and bought my bus ticket! I am going to Paris tonight! I can NOT wait!
I walked around for most of the day and then came back to rest. I bought a huge bottle of water and some fruit and met my room mates.  It's so neat how you can befriend someone in minutes knowing you'll probably never see them again.  Daniel from Columbia was staying only one night as he flew out this morning to go home after a year in Heidelberg.  In the common room eating dinner I met Jamie from Calgary and his sister from Lethbridge (this was a very exciting moment!), and Doug, Amy, and her twin from Orange County! It was interesting to hear what other people liked and didn't like about where I am going. And I made sure to ask about hostels!
I drank my whole bottle of water and then some so adespite many trips to the bathroom last night I feel a little better! Bad timing too since I am taking the overnight bus to Paris which means not a great nights sleep.  C'est la vie!
