Since Amy says I will post about my travels, and I never do, I thought now would be a good time to start. I am in Germany now and we had some time off today so we visited the city fo Trier. Founded by the Romans in the first century, Trier (pronounced Tree-air) is considered to be the oldest city in Germany. They have what is considered to be one of the most wonderful Christmas markets in all of Germany. So wonderful that even I bought some Christmas gifts there. Anyway, we toured the city, marvelled at ancient relics, and tasted the local cuisine. Here are a few photos, so that I don't have to write much more.

Here is an interesting statue that probably has some great historic importance unkown to me.

The main Christmas market area filled with amazing foods and shops.

A cathedral.


Porta Nigra (Black Gate). Roman city gate built in the 2nd century.
