Koln (Cologne) Germany
Today we went with Christians mom (our German mom) to Germany's 4th largest city Koln. Koln or Cologne as you would say in English was founded by the Roman's in 38 AD and proclaimed an offical "Roman City" in 50 AD.
The first thing you notice as you are approaching the city is one of the world's largest churches known as the Cologne Cathedral.
After checking out the church we went to an exhibit which is the partial original Roman city. It was amazing to see buildings that have been around for about 2000 years.

Prior to the Washington Monument and Eiffel Tower, the Cologne Cathedral was the tallest structure in the world. Trevor and Christian's mom decided they were going to go to the top of church which is over 516ft in the air. Trevor took the following picture:
Here are also some pictures from inside the cathedral:
