In the afternoon, we stopped at the ancient Roman capital, Trier. The only thing remaining of the four-mile town wall was the north gate. We walked through the Cathedral (oldest church in Germany) and the Basilica. At the Maket Square, I bought the largest Turkish figs I had ever seen. How sweet they were!
We arrived at Baden-Baden where we would sleep two nights. Several of us were fortunate to dine with Rolinka. Her German skills always came in handy since most of us were challenged with the difficult language. We quickly learned about her charming negotiation skills and resourcefulness. |
