Cologne Visit to the Cathedral

Everyone is going into Cologne today. Meggar and I enjoyed morning mass at the Koln Dom (Cathedral). It is the tallest cathedral I've ever seen and all its Chapels were stunningly beautiful. This city is built on the ancient ruins of Colonia (from 50 A.D.) with several open places where you can see what the archaeologists discovered. Another favorite stop was a tour of the Lindt German Chocolate Factory, complete with samples! At the train station we bought delicious pastries, and at the local grocery store we purchased cookies to mail home, more Greek yoghurt, and various cheeses (there are miles to choose from). Don't find foods like this in Missouri!
