Cologne Germany

_Cologne an old town on the Rhine river was here even in the Roman times. A train bridge is close by they said 1 thousand trains cross daily . Love locks are attached to the rails with the keys thrown into the river. We pass the museum of moderian art and a museum of Roman history. We walk to the beautiful twin-steepled 13 century gothic cathedral. This church is still active with original stained glass windows and a swallow nest organ and beautiful ceramic tiled floors. We pass an archeological dig near the city hall the remains of a Jewish settlement. (1709) We also see the remains of a Roman palace. We see many German beer gardens very active. I stop at a Starbucks to post my blog before returning to the boat for dinner. The boat heads for Koblenz. I head to bed early again tonight.
