New Year’s Eve in Heidelberg
You guys, Heidelberg on New Year’s Eve is insane. Imagine a country, a beautiful, ornate country. Filled with castles, palaces, ancient churches, and also, rules. Germany is one thing: very orderly. Except for one night: New Year’s Eve.
People of all ages pour out of their homes, onto the streets, and blast fireworks into the sky.
The day started out quiet enough. My Mom is in town to visit and we walked around the Alstadst, toured the castle, and took in the views.
That night, we came home and drank copious amounts of wine, had even more cheese, and watched some 2016 wrap up specials on our T.V., aka a large computer monitor.
Then the popping started. I was told to go outside, just walk on out, and people would be blasting fireworks. Having no idea what this would be like, I was totally game.
We live just a few houses down from the river so we walked out and up the bridge to what I can only describe as utter madness. These weren’t your average sparklers. NO. People had real, blasting, crazy fireworks. The whole time I was freaking out. This video I took below is the best description.
Oh Germany, I love you.
