Schatzi's Adventures

Since I'm new to the blog scene...simplicity is the name of the game. I couldn't figure out how to edit the Trier "placeholder" that Meg established, so, I just created a new entry. Here goes...


Trier was our FIRST adventure, together (Meg, Schatzi, and I), in Germany. Trier is one of the oldest cities in Germany. It's smack, dab on the Rhine River. For the uninitiated...GREAT wine country. Trier also has much history as a Roman-inhabited city. Besides getting lost (I was the navigator), we had a great time having lunch on the piazzia (sp?), surveying the ruins (Porto Negro~the black door), ampitheater, and baths. The churches were absolutely amazing...we bought our first German birthday present at one of the churches.

Constantine's church -- home to Roman Emporer Constantine, is a very basic church, but very large (Right)







Trier Cathedral -- The Oldest Bishop's Church in Germany (Pictures below and to the right)

It's most precious relic is the Holy Robe, called the Tunic of Christ, an undivided seamless robe which is believed to be worn by Jesus himself.



Porta Negro was the most northern gate to the Roman Empire. -->





Not bad for a day trip...enjoy the pictures!

Ciao...
