Well, today is our last day in Cologne and leaving will be bittersweet. In some ways, we are excited to go to Paris (who wouldn't right?) - and in other ways, we are a little bummed out to be leaving Cologne. We feel settled - we know where things are, we have a routine - and leaving means we start the adventure into the unknown all over again. The good thing is that we definitely knew it would come to an end, so we have been doing our best to enjoy every minute of the trip. We also know there is no way we could have seen everything here in 10 days so we are ok with having seen so much already...and just hope we can come back some day to see more!
Since we will be in a new hotel - and I won't be at work next week - I'm not sure if I will be able to update the blog until we get home. We will do our best, but I can't promise anything.
Things have been going well - we did the tower climb at the Dom yesterday - holy smokes, we were not ready for that. It is a spiral staircase up the to top of one of the tower - I took a ton of pictures and will have to post them at a later time (since I don't have the camera with me at work). It was totally worth it for sure and the view from up there was simply breathtaking. Again, can't emphasize how tough the climb was and how small the stairs were...phew...good times. We also spent quite a bit of time walking around the inside of the Dom as well, and just marvelling at how absolutely wonderful it is. Again, lots of pictures but they will have to wait.
We were able to have dinner with some friends last night which was a nice treat. There is another Ford family over here so Taylor even had a friend to hang out with. We had a great time for sure and really enjoyed ourselves.
Going forward - Paris this weekend, Brussels on Monday, and fly home Tuesday...
I'm sure we will have a lot of stories when we get back...can't believe it's been 2 weeks already.
