Entry: Germany, Day 1

After being picked up from the airport this morning ~10am local time (and being half catatonic from jetlag and lack of sleep), we trekked straight over to the city of Trier. I'd never heard of it but, MAN, was it cool!!

I actually ended up accidentally uploading these in reverse order. But anyway, here they is. :)

We went to the Church of St. Gangolph. It was pretty neat. Unfortunately, there was a mass going on so we couldn't really do much.

Georganna and her hubby, Curtis. He's....enthused.

A random fountain.

The entrance. Doesn't that centurion look kinda drunk?

We went to the Cathedral of St. Peter. It was, for lack of better words, absolutely off the hook!

That is one truly awesome graveyard.

More dead people.

A panorama shot of the inside.

Inside, different angle.

Inside, take #3.

Cool looking dome. It's amazing what impoverished monks and saints can afford.

A holy man hole.

The twin sister sisters. So, you can say sisters^2 or sisters(sisters()).

I know that some cultures don't care about much, but if someone came up to me and said, "Dude...do you mind if we put you on the cover of a book with your boobs hanging down over your gut and diaper?", I would probably say "no". But that's just me.

"Not Swimming"???

Yield to angelic SCUBA divers.

We also visited Porta Negra. It's a million-year-old Roman gate that used to be the entrance to the city. Absolutely awesome!!

A view from the inside.

Those romans knew how to build some seriously tall spaces.

Ashleigh and Georganna flirting with the local centurion.

An external view of the gates.

Women and children allowed here. (Pay no attention to the anatomically excited lions in the background.)

Women and children NOT allowed here.

These are shots of Basilica of Constantine. Apparently, before it was a Presbyterian church, it was used as a Roman throne room during the Constantine era.

Talk about tall!!

The obligatory cross.

Die, Bible!!

Another part of the Basilica.

Cool fountain.

Nice pond.
