Saturday Adventure

Cologne (Koln), Germany

Today, we ventured out to Koln, Germany. Us Americans call it Cologne. It took us about 1 1/2 hours to drive there. We spent almost as much time looking for a parking space once we arrived! Koln is the 4th largest city in Germany and is the home to the most famous cathedral in Germany--a Gothic cathedral.

After finally finding a parking space and a bathroom (James & I walked into a ritzy, private, spa and just pretended that we knew where we were going--desperate times take desperate measures). We decided to ride a cable car over the Rhine River. On our way back, as we were descending, we were right over the spa when suddenly, James shouted, "Oh my heck! There's a totally naked woman getting into that swimming pool!" it wasn't half a second later when I got the glimpse of 3 or 4 naked men sunbathing... Our eyes are burned for life! After that, we attempted to get closer to the cathedral, this time finding a parking garage. The cathedral was so huge that my camera couldn't fit the whole thing in it.

By the way, sometimes our kids act really good on these adventures...today was not one of those days! On our way home Thomas asked me "who was better today?" and I told him "neither of you, you were both naughty little boys!" You win some, you lose some, I guess!

Until later,
