i posted some of these pictures on my facebook account. i realized that not everyone has an account - or is one of my facebook friends. So i decided to post them on my blog too! These are pictures from my quick trip to Germany, before i came to Switzerland. My friend, Anne, took me to Koln (pronounced like cologne) where we visited The Dome - a church building that was started in 1248 but wasn't finished until the 1800's!

crazy-cool pipe organ...
one of the many beautiful stained-glass windows...
one of the beautiful cobble-stone streets in Koln...
the Rhine River...
there was just so many gorgeous buildings in Koln...
the West Gate... i think...
the Koln train station...
we then took the train to Dusseldorf...
this building had a wonderful chocolate shop on the first floor. very tasty!
