On a rainy day, we went to Cologne. Two interesting facts about Cologne: 95 % of the city was destroyed during World War 2 and it is also where the name Cologne (the fragrance) got its name. The very famous Cathedral was left in tact though, and we climbed all 533 steps to the very top. We were only in the city for1/2 a day, but we enjoyed our quick visit - even in the rain :-)

| Bailey, Camden, and Mia in front of the Cathedral - a long way up to the top! |
 |
| Inside the Cathedral - gorgeous!!! Amazing to think how this was built so long ago without any of the equipment that we have today.... |
 |
| Always candles to light.... |
 |
| Bailey at the top! |
 |
| Mia on the way up - 533 steps in all!!!! |
 |
| Cologne is famous for its Lock bridge (this is where Bamberg got the idea). There are thousands (maybe even millions) of keys laying on the bottom of the Rhein River that open these locks... |

| The locks go on forever.... Quite amazing to see so much love and friendship :-) |
