Yesterday, 2 May, we visited Trier. This is the oldest city in Germany and was quite impressive! There are many artifacts from Roman times, including the largest city gate left standing! We also visited a cathedral that was georgous and connected to it was the oldest Gothic church in Germany. We have never seen 2 massive churches connected before! Karl Marx was born here, and we toured his house that has been turned into a very interesting museum. The sun was out and it was about 70 degrees, the hottest it's been that we remember!
Today we checked out the town that we have been in for the past 3 nights: Cologne. The dom, or cathedral, is so huge and so great to walk around in. There were also city walls for us to see, although many seemed to be under construction so we couldn't get very close. We were also able to tour a chocolate factory/museum (Lindt Chocolate) and tasted the freshest chocolate available! The sun was out again today and was quite hot. We soaked it up while we could and ended the afternoon grabbing a few last-minute souvenirs to remember the town with. Tomorrow morning we leave in the AM for Frankfurt, which is less than 2 hours by train away. We fly out on Friday, and will be in the US about 18.30!
