Cologne Tours

Our classes spent the majority of Thursday in the neighboring city of Cologne. It only takes about 25 minutes to get there by train and for a group of five you can get a really good deal on travel. We started off with a tour of the city along with historical background. It was very cool and I learned a lot from it. Some information I could have done without! We learned that back in the good ole days before there was plumbing, the citizens of Cologne would use the restroom by simply sticking there butt out the window. Letting there feces fall unto the street and sidewalks. If you were walking around the city you had to beware of people using the restroom or you could be hit. We also took a tour of the massive cathedral. If I remember correctly it is the 5th biggest in the world and was truly amazing to see. The view from the rooftop tour was awesome. Until next time, Jake
