In most city centers you find artists and musicians performing. This has been my favorite thus far. This person would stand so still that you thought he was a fountain, he even had water streaming from his hat and hands. He would quickly move robotically and gesture for people to give him money. It was so entertaining.
Cathedral Dom
There were altars lining the nave who weren't dedicated to saints, but rather bishops. Hmm... intresting
This cathedral holds some important relics supposedly the Holy Robe of Christ and a Holy nail from the Crucifixion. I don't know if I buy into the idea that these ancient artifiacts are here, but if not, its a good way for them to make money
This was our little photo shoot inside the Cathedral Dom. Justin and I take turns reading the history. While he read the history I took photo shoots of my adorable kids. I don't know what he did during my history lesson.
This building is the largest intact Roman building outside of Rome. It's best known as a basilica, but it started out as a throne room. Each square is the ceiling above is 10 feet by 10 feet. The last emperor moved out in 395 AD, by th 12th century, the bishops turned it into a palace. In 1856 it was turned into a Lutheran church. I found this church very intrestesting, its so plain and simple in comparison to other churches.
Ayla is our little director "This way!"
Imperial Baths
These Imperial Baths built by Constantine are the biggest of Triers 3 Roman baths and the most intricate of the Roman World.
Keanna and Ayla are trying to figure out exactly how these bathes work. They have found a nice little crevice to sit back and relax. Now they just need the water.
Here are some pictures of the family. The weather in Trier rarely gets warm. Therefor, there was a lot of slave labor used to keep the pools at a perfect 47 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Farhenheit). We went in underground tunnels where the slaves and pipes worked on keeping Constantine happy.
After a long day or touring this beautiful city Ayla decided to crash. I love watchin her fall asleep, its so funny
