Wowsers! Awesome photos and obviously I love this post given my love of churches and cathedrals!! Stunning.

That video of Cologne brought tears to my eyes. My mind could not comprehend the devastation and loss of 9/11 never mind entire streets and cities. It is just too big to comprehend.

I looked at a video of Hamburg too and it is just terrible. I think I’ll do a hat trick and look for photos of Liverpool or London.

By the way, have you seen this: http://acidcow.com/pics/3772-normandy_1944_then_and_now_204_pics.html

Thank you, LucyLucia! Are you planning your next European adventure yet? After you adventure south of the border first, that is.

LOL about the boots!

Christine, Cologne is a vibrant city. It has a young feel to it, and now I know why.

As a truly frivolous aside, the shopping is brilliant there!!

Anne, I love the history here in Europe. Sometimes I try to imagine what life must have been like 100, 200, 500, 1000 years ago, but I can’t quite get there. It is such a privilege to have the chance to see all of these amazing things.

Kathy, that video was very moving. There’s so much out there to watch these days. This one was interesting too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEqwLLFNC3w&feature=related

I with you. I can’t imagine having the heart to rebuild. We were wandering around the city thinking, where did all the residents go when the city was being bombed?

Kathy, I do love the old churches. Are there some good ones in Bremen? Interestingly, when I was in the Koln train station, there was a store there selling Bremen foodstuff. It looked like tea and some goodies. Now I wonder what local delicacies you have in your part of Germany!

Julia, I think that is an interesting visual affect happening… The ceiling was waaaaay up there, though.
