The pictures loaded fast enough that I will get this up as well and that will finish until I give a report from home tomorrow. On Wednesday we went to Trier, the oldest city in Germany and it was a treat indeed. The first two pics are from the Trier Dom (Cathedral) which we felt was truly one of the best of the trip as it was not so overbearing, but beautiful! You see the courtyard and the pipe organ here.
Next are pics of the city center in Trier and those colorful houses are dated 1605 - 1609! The next pic is of a part of the original Roman wall that was built 157 AD. Quite imipressive! Then we drove with Axel, our good friend through the valley along the Mosel River and this is wine country at its best! Even more beautiful than Napa in some ways due to the higher hills. Just amazing colors and we stopped at this high point to take some pics.
Finally we stopped at a lovely town that I can't recall (or pronounce) the name of, but it was fantastic. We did just a little shopping and, of course, had to have some coffee and kuchen! Notice in the sixth picture the little house in the middle that is no wider than the two windows. Very quaint! Then you see Ingrid and me in front of the Ratskeller, which used to be the city hall, but is now a restaurant of sorts.
One last night shot with the reflecting lights and then the final shot of Ingrid with Axel and Marlies Kreis and their daughter Jennifer who reminded us so much of our granddaughter, Emma! We hope they will all visit next May/June!!!!!
God has blessed in so many ways. I'll share more reflections tomorrow. Thanks for looking!
