Greetings from Germany!

Hello from Essen! A damp and cold Essen, that is. I'm staying with Chris (Peter's second cousin) and his girlfriend, Sonja. Yesterday was a visit to ancient Xanten to see 2000-year-old ruins from Roman times. Then dinner with Chris's family. Today Chris and I visited three castles and then went to Koln to see the cathedral. We climbed 533 steps up to the top of the south tower. Pant pant. The inside is amazing. Just beautiful. Then back to Essen and dinner with the fam. Tomorrow is exploring Essen, and it's supposed to be sunny. Hooray!!














Not much left of this castle.
