Trier

One of the main places we wanted Fritz to visit was Trier. This is one of our (Terry and Stace's) favorite cities that we have been too. It is around an hour and a half away but the drive is stunning. And once you arrive, you feel like you've been transported.

Trier's charm comes from all of the Roman ruins (the baths, colosseum, Porta Nigra) and it's expansive architecture. We have been there many times now and it seems as though we always find something new to explore.

On the day we left, it was going to be a beaut - then it rained the whole time we drove. Then it let up a bit...as we finished walking around the Basilica, we made it to a nice corner restaurant when the downpour began again...fortunately, it didn't last that long and we slowly made our way down to the marktplatz.

We took our photos in front of the Porta Nigra, checked out the Dom and then headed to our fave restau of all time, The Domstein. The rain just poured and poured all throughout our superb dinner and wine probe (tastings) and lucky again...it slowed itself down long enough for us to make our way to the parking garage and head back home.

Fritz liked Trier so much that by the time we got home, he decided he wanted to go back to check it out some more. So, 10 days later, we headed back to our lovely little city and had a nice lunch, jumped onto the double decker tour bus, had ourselves a couple of beers and really got a chance to really walk this time. It was a sun-shiney day, we all ate some ice cream and had yet another great day in Germany.

Here are some great photos of us all in Trier! Check 'em out!
