Cologne, Germany

We flew back to Frankfurt and picked up our rental car. Our destination was Cologne and we arrived in late evening. It was difficult to find a hotel. We asked a gentlemen on the street and made a suggestion which turned out to a very good recommendation. After checking in, we headed for some good German food.

On Sunday morning, we were on our way to explore Cologne. Our first stop was the Cathedral. This structure was preserved during the war. All the stained glass windows were removed by the citizens and replaced following the war.




















There were also many reminders of the Roman Empire. Ruins were seen throughout the city.




This was a well we saw in the parking garage.













A part of the Roman wall is still visible in the city.












One impressive monument that remains from the war is a church which was bombed out, but a statue of grieving parents.
