It's Saturday, so it must be Trier

Trier is a city on the Moselle River and is thought to be the oldest city in Germany. It was founded by the Romans in the late 1st century BC, and it still has some old Roman shit. So we went to see it. 

But first, we went to the Christmas market. This is the best one so far. 

We had one of these a looooooong time ago. It was a cheap brass thing that turned around when we lit candles under it. This was was a little bigger. 

The Cathedral was huge and built in many parts. It was started by the Romans (not as a cathedral, obviously). 

 I thought that these were a little over the top. 

I like the faded decoration on this column. 

Like other cities, Trier has pretty manhole covers. 

And now for the old Roman stuff. 

They built this huge bath complex, called the Barbara Baths, in the 4th century AD. 

That’s a lot of water. 

After this, we walked in the rain to another ruin  

I have to say that the Romans built things to last. After leaving this, we stumbled across more Stumbling Stones.

We took the car to the next old thing, which was an amphitheater where they had gladiator fights and stuff.

This was taken before Dan slipped and fell in the mud. :(

At dinner, Dan was feeling his Zoolander vibe. 

Here is one more from the Christmas Market: It’s Cody under the lights. He usually makes a weird face for photos, but I can’t tell here. 

 

Dan here once more and again, only a few photo additions.

 Here is a video of that spinning contraption

A tomb in the cathedral. He was apparently a bigwig. But we all go out the same way.
