Germany was wonderful, it was so nice to be back home.  Thanks to everyone who bid on Ebay to help me finance the most wonderful and necessary trip I’ve ever had.  I got to spend 10 blissful days with my love, and yes,  IT is still there.  sooooooooo………………

He’s coming back to Seattle to stay!!

Enough with the squee-ing. Alright. Part One.

We stayed in a small town called Much, where Chance was visiting his cousin Sabine.  We didint’ leave the house for the first 3 days, but eventually we went for our first adventure.. The countryside we walked through was  luxe, green and beautiful.  It was quiet and I could see for miles, we fed the cows crabapples that had fallen on the path, and they followed us as we walked on the otherside of the fence.  It was good to get away from city life for a bit. We were both so blissed out we were glowing.

We took long bus and train rides to get to Cologne, the trip total is about an hour and a half.  I remember going to Cologne with my mum when I was about 14. We got my pointe shoes there.  So, I haven’t been there in over 10 years.  I forgot how beautiful the cathedral is. Crap is it an amazing and awe inspiring sight.  It took 750 years to build, and sustained several direct hits during WWII. The cathedral also holds in its golden vault the supposed remains of the 3 wise men. Chance said they had discovered a fourth skeleton in the box. It is said, the 4th is the king that financed their mission.  Chance and I walked around the cathedral a bit and stopped in the catacombs, then ended up sitting in the pews for a long spell,  just taking in the awesomeness and reverence of it all.
