This week I went to Cologne, Germany. I will be talking in this blog about different things I have experienced in Germany. The first thing I will talk about is the food in Germany. Every city in Germany has their own beer. The beer of Cologne is Kölsh. This seems to be the preferred drink in the region, at least for adults. A common food is "Schweinshaxe." This was delicious. It is pig knuckle or ham hocks.
One thing that Cologne is famous for is a big cathedral. It has a crypt inside it that hold the fingers of the three kings who traveled to Bethlehem. The towers are approximately 515 feet tall. There are two towers on it and they were built by hand. When they had finished building the south tower many years after the north tower was built, the south tower was taller by just seven centimeters. We climbed 2/3 of the way up. You can't go any higher unless you go on ladders at that point.

I really enjoyed Germany and thought it was very fun.
