This is Kiel, Germany. It's a large sea port on the Baltic Sea and about a half hour drive east of where we were staying for the last week and a half. It's where a lot of Norwegian cruise ships stay for home port. We had been to Kiel before for errands, but last Tuesday some of us decided to go back for a little sightseeing. Saying it's a very old town would be redundant here in Germany, but it also has a University in the city with a variety of archaic buildings and small parks. The picture is a part of where the marketplace and shops merged with the University. Oh, and yes we did stop for lunch at a hot dog... er bratwurst stand and got a Rotbratwurst dog. May be the best dog I've ever had. It's a huge, bratwurst on a small fresh baguette (or brot in German) with only spicy mustard. Very good! The picture at the top is of this really cool cathedral in the middle of the marketplace. As we walked by, the bells rang for noon. They were so loud and deafening, yet no one but us seemed to notice. The inside of the cathedral was nothing fancy but they had some carvings and statues inside that were made in the early 1400's. It still blows my mind when I think about stuff like that. It was a really neat city but we had enough by the end of the week and were ready to head south.
