Cologne and its Magnificent Cathedral

A portion of the Baroque Cologne Cathedral from the square

Inside the Cathedral

This is the view from the top of the Cathedral spire--Holland and Maile climbed the circular stairway, all 533 winding steps of it--and this picture proves it.  If you enlarge the picture, Tom and I are sitting on the fountain ledge just about in the middle waiting for them.  We had some enjoyable people watching while we were waiting, and we were quite happy foregoing the climbing.

Another picture Maile took of the upper reaches of the Cathedral.  I remember when Eric, their Dad, was about 12, he and I climbed to the top of Chartres Cathedral while Tom sat in a pew and waited for us.  It is definitely a feeling of accomplishment, but I no longer have the energy to expend on that particular exercise.

Pretty impressive, huh?  Let's have around of applause for Maile and Holland.
