After Jeremy and I arrived in Trier last Friday, we kicked off our romantic weekend by visting the post office to mail my application for the dance festival in Cologne. I am such a pain, but we couldn't find the post office in the Cologne central station!As we walked into the gorgeous old center, famished and admittedly a little cranky, we were greeted with giant piles of cherries at the farmer's market. We ate a charming lunch of rotwurst, french fries with mayo/ketchup/onions (especial!), with cherries and wine for dessert.
We then took in the sights-- the Cathedral (check out the organ!), where I lit candles for my grandma and Aunt Colleen, the confusingly multi-century palace (Medieval in the front, Baroque in the back!) with its delicious gardens, the ruins of the Roman Imperial Sauna, and we spent an embarrassingly long time trying to find Karl Marx's house (like all good liberals).
We finished off the day by tromping back into the center to eat wild boar cold cuts and drink more Mosel wine.

Wonderful pictures! Everything is so picturesque- the flowers and green hills! Thanks for lighting the candles.
i just have one jealous question- does it EVER rain when you are touring? Every one of your travelougues show gorgeous blue skies with cute puffy clouds!!!!
you should freelance for tour companies!
you could give andrew zimmer or tony something some compettition with your odd food selections (they each travel and eat local dishes and some shiver-up-your-back foods.
glad you had a good time.
maybe iwill see you this summer eating some weird PA foods....
We were REALLY lucky with the weather. I found out that in Cologne that weekend it was cold and rainy.
We could be tour guides, but only for crazy maniacs who like to walk until they are exhausted and then bike all day the next day (Day 2 coming up!). The wild boar cold cuts were delicious, though-- I even bought some wild boar cutlets today!
We are longing for some of those special PA sandwiches with french fries inside...
let me know when you are going to be close!Don't forget the coleslaw on them too!
just looked at the pictures- sor some reason the bookmark page is your gondola blog from when you were in venice, so i didn't know you had slides too!wish i could read german
I think you have to refresh the page sometimes-- I have to do that, too occasionally. Weird that it was still Venice-- that was a long time ago!
Is something in German?
