I loved seeing all the bikes in Cologne.
These are bikes that you can rent... www.callabike.de
I even made a little video and posted it over on pluggedin.kodak.com
Now I am back on my city bike kick. I want one so that I can tool around town with flowers and a loaf of bread in the basket.

Some of the food I have had in Cologne...
Pomme frites with mayonaise, ketchup and fried onions (like the kind you put on green bean casseroles)
Soft pretzel... a must.
A berliner and chococcino.
Someone told me on Facebook to try a doner kebap and I ran into one so I tried it! Yum!
How cute are these weckmann pastries?

I got a lot of great recommendations for Cologne and the one thing everyone mentioned was the Cologne Cathedral.
Domo and Piglet liked it.
I thought the outside was amazing. The inside was breathtaking.
You can climb to the top of the cathedral tower. 509 steps... I can handle that.
Ooo-wee.
At this point I felt a little woozy.
But I made it. So did Domo and Piglet.
I posted a video of my climb to 1000words.kodak.com

Interesting things I have seen in Cologne.
Guards are posted around this courtyard at certain times of the day to keep people from walking on it because it could be heard in the music hall below.
Rock climbers practiced on the wall of the Hohenzollern Bridge by my hotel.
The light switches and the toilet flush button in my hotel are all huge.
I love the little cars in Cologne. Look how this Smart Car sqeezed into a tiny parking space.
Aaron should be getting his Smart Car soon. Maybe it will come with a clown on it. Hah-hah!
I couldn't figure out why there were locks attached to the fence along the bridge walkway. This one is going to bug me.
UPDATE: I have been informed that these are Love Padlocks ! Love padlocks are a custom by which sweethearts affix padlocks to a fence or similar public fixture to symbolise their love.

This evening I walked across the bridge with some fun coworkers to find dinner. I also had Domo and Piglet stashed in my purse. They couldn't miss Germany!
Domo was happy to get out.
Piglet enjoyed the walk.
All the buildings look so charming.
Here is where we settled on dinner.
Inside I ordered the world's largest frankfurter. Honestly... I had to chop it up so it fit on the plate. Oh and since I was in Cologne I felt obligated and I drank 1/3 of a Kölsch. Didn't get sick but it's still not my thing.
Despite how optimistic I look, I was only able to finish half of the frankfurter. I had to leave room for apple struesel of course. I also discovered I like red cabbage.

I have arrived in Cologne, Germany and this is the view from my hotel window. I can walk over the bridge to the cathedral, shops and pubs. So nice!
Photokina is huge and I am going to be busy this week!
