Hallo! I am very proud to say that my current city of residence is now Koln, Deutschland! My trip began on the 28th of August. I flew to Frankfurt with my aunt, Pat Herm. She decided it was a perfect opportunity for her to visit Europe again; she is quite the world traveler! When we arrived in Frankfurt, jet-lagged and tired, we needed to take a two hour train ride to the Cologne "Hopbahnhof", or train station. Once we arrived in Cologne, my German buddy with whom I was paired, Cosima, picked us up from the Hopbahnhof. We were so thankful when we heard that she had brought her car, carrying everything that I needed for a semester was a lot for me to handle! As overwhelmed as I was, it was absolutely amazing to arrive. The moment that you step outside of the Cologne Hopbahnhof, you are within about 200 feet of the famous Cathedral in Cologne, known as the Kolner Dom. Just as a mental picture for you, I was not able to take a picture of the whole height of the Dom because it is so tall! We arrived at my apartment, quickly unpacked and re-packed, and headed back to the train station. We were very pressed for time because we needed to catch a train to Brussells, Belgium. We were able to catch our train in time and were on our way!
