Köln - Day 2

---

Today I walked along the Rhine and got a better understanding of the city, I still love the fact I can navagate without a map and base where I am off of the cathedral. Today I check out the Römisch-Germanisches Museum (Roman-German). Lots of cool stuff there and some very ancient as well, therer was a lot of really cool glass there and it turns out Köln was the largest class producer in Europe and was a Roman city. They have a piece there that was worht over 40.000.000 € and is one of 5 pieces.

The Germans are till psyched up on the victory over portugal yesterday. I ended up eating breakfast by an old city gate entrance built in the 13th century. I cannot tell if my tiredness is from walking around all day or jet-leg still.

I did find out a few things about the city that will pertain to a few of you: first - mom would like this city cause a brewery had an asparagus week, two - dad would hate this city for not having a dairy queen any where nearby, three - I found Jeff and Michelles new vehical, you will have to look through the pictures!

I am not sure why today, but the cathedral started hanging all these flags up for the city.
