Yesterday we went to the city of Cologne. It was very beautiful and I would LOVE to go back some day. There is so much to see and we were only there for a few hours. We saw the DOM which is the gigantic cathedral in the city. It was super crowded with tons of tourists and I think we heard the most amount of english speakers in this tourist city. I also met a very nice Belgian on my way out of the bathroom. I was waiting for Uncle Martin to come out and the man was being polite telling me, “you can go first up the stairs”. I said “I’m waiting”. “AH, ENGLISH?!?!” He was very excited that I spoke English. I said “yes, English”. Apparently he was not referring to the language but was asking me if I was BRITISH. He proceeded to inform me he is going to London for 4 days in September and is planning to see the kings palace with the guards. Having been there once myself I told him it is very beautiful there. Then Uncle Martin came out and began speaking with him. It made me think a little better of the Belgians since we tried their waffles and those were gross… of course they did come from a gas station…..
Today we are doing laundry…. I think it is the most fun we have had the entire trip so far….
