pictures 2 - koln/cologne & arrival antwep

susan bei dem Rhine - lovely walk/park along in the city and 5? km to the zoo

this is the reliquary (sp?) for the magi skulls and bones - and the reason for the cathedral - HUGE - prob. 20" on the side facing, and you can gauge other from that

what a COOL backpack - black rubber porcupine

roman museum around the floor found -

detail of above

museum had the whole line of caesars...

who, interestingly enough, the Germans title Kaiser !  We keep the Latin, and the only Kaiser I think of is Kaiser Wilhelm

Rembrandt self

...and of course you have to stop for 'smecken'

which was pretty enough for a picture...and then all gone...

lots of cellists w/ hard cases backpack - this one was notable - and the design was original to the case - ie. in the plastic - not her addition.

non German traveler

Antwerp Train Station - grand arrival

and the very spacious room - thank you credit cards (plane tickets and this hotel room courtesy of points - yeah points...)
