| On Monday, July 14th, Linda and I took the train in to Cologne. Our first stop was the Roman Museum. I'd really enjoyed seeing that with Rainer back in February. But it turns out that all but one or two of the museums in Cologne are closed on Mondays, as we found out when we arrived. There were quite a few stones outside the museum that were carved in Roman times, and we got a picture of this one to the left. |
| We didn't go in the art museum here either, but we did get a picture of the boy sitting on the roof. He's not alive. Whether or not he once was I'm not sure. |
|
| A little tourist bus on cathedral square, Roncalliplatz. |
| This is a great clock with lots of moving figures, just north of the cathedral square. In February we went to see it strike the hour, but the figures didn't move. It wasn't tourist season. This visit it was tourist season, but we never were near the clock on the hour and so never saw the figures move. Well, ... maybe next time. |
|
| With the museums closed, we decided to take one of the four tours in a book called "Central Cologne on feet" that sharon bought for us in the cathedral tour and information office, across the street from the cathedral. We took tour 4, "Virgins and viewpoints" |
| On the wall of this building are four plaques of famous teachers whs taught in a Jesuit college that was once on this site. One of them is Georg Simon Ohm, a physicist who discovered the basic law relating electircal current, voltage, and resistance that is named after him. Linda's friend Dawna is one of his descendants. |
