On our final day of sight-seeing, Katie and I checked out Cologne, another 2.5 hour drive.
The Rhine runs through Cologne. There are lots of bridges throughout the city and a nice river walk green space that sort of reminded me of Portland's river front (and all the skaters and "interesting" people made it feel even more like Portland!) I hear there's a Lindt Chocolate factory in the city, I think I'll have to check that out next time : )
The Cologne Cathedral... the first stone was laid in 1248 and it's 157 meters high. In addition to the main cathedral, there are 12 other Romanic churches throughout the city. I don't know that we found all 12, but we did stroll around for awhile and saw several.
The pulpit
Side street, aren't the cobblestoned roads cool?
The river front
