German Trip - Day 1





After arriving at Frankfurt airport on the morning of 9/24, we headed up to the Cologne area to spend a few days with Chris and Helga. We rested a few hours and then headed to downtown Cologne to see the famous cathedral which began construction in 1170 -http://www.koelner-dom.de/geschichte.html?&L=1


There is a Roman-German museum near the cathedral. One of the famous articles in this museum is a tapestry/mosaic dating back to the 3rd century - http://www.sacred-destinations.com/germany/cologne-roman-museum-photos/slides/dionysus-mosaic


We finished the night at a wonderful Italian restaurant (Fioretto).
