In Heidelberg
What was expected to be a boring Sunday turned out to be a fulfilling one. =) Unplanned weekends in Europe is scary, coz everything's, or just about everything is closed. Thank God for the invention called the "Internet".....happened to chance upon a list of events that took place on Sunday (2/4).....and went to the botanical gardens for a talk on exotic tropical plants....actually basically all the spices that you could find in your typical kitchen.
I went trigger-happy...was absolutely thrilled to see all that lovely flowers and fauna.
After which, I experienced the first European Sunday afternoon....simply seating outside the cafe and drink coffee. Slow.....relaxed. I think I need some time to get used to it, after the hustle and bustle from the last academic year.
Ahhh.......choral music. We chanced upon an evening performance by Cappella Palatina at the St Bonifatius Church. It was in remembrance of the 1st death anniversay of Pope John Paul II. The voices (other the 1st sopranos), were fantastic....as usual, the 1st sops nearly spoilt it all. (NEARLY I repeat). The acoustics of the church saved them all (as expected), and they actually sounded like the heavenly hosts.....WOOO....
Was a nice eventful day afterall.
