Finding our hostel was NOT easy, so by the time we got checked in we were already tired and grumpy, but still wanted to get out and see a little bit of the city.
First stop, a beer garden for a late lunch/early dinner and then walked to the city center from there. Without a very good map, all we had to use as a point of reference was the peaks of the cathedral.
The Dom Cathedral is beautiful, with incredibly unique architecture, and absolutely massive.
Its as beautiful at night as it is in the day time
We spent Saturday through Tuesday in Cologne and a neighboring town, Aachen.
Tuesday night we went to Paris.
There is not enough I can say about Paris. Its beautiful, and the people are wonderful. That old stereotype that the Parisiens are rude? Completely unfounded from what I experienced. Seriously, I didn't encounter anything like that at all.
I absolutely loved the city and want to go back to visit again and again and again.
I think this is my favorite photo of the entire trip.

Hey, exciting pics! Everytime I see photos of Germany, I think that maybe I should go see some of it, especially as I'm so close (6 hours or so by train to Berlin, for example). I'm so pleased you had such a good time!
more. more...MORE PICTURES! you didn't say which trip you enjoyed more or are they just too different to pick?
That church is the epitome of gothic-ness, and I LOVE IT. I have heard awesome things about the church in Cologne.
