Trip To Trier, Germany *pics*

Andrew and I made a day trip to the town of Trier today. Trier is a Roman city in Germany and one of the oldest in the country. We left at 9 AM and got back home at 6PM. It was an hour and a half drive each way. The weather was nice. It didn't rain until we got ready to leave. We enjoyed a day of sightseeing and a nice lunch overlooking the MarktPlatz.

Gorgeous pictures!! :)

I can see from you and Esster that I am going to have to plan to get out of the USA! These places are beautiful. Such history is now fascinating to me. In school ages ago, I hated history and almost failed it. Thanks for sharing these.

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

I've lost track. How long will you remain in Germany? How's Drake?

:eek: There are so many beautiful places in Germany, I really want to visit one day:D I love the pics:) Its all so gorgeous!

Amber Lee, we will be in Germany for 3 years. Drake is doing fine. We didn't take him with us yesterday because most of the places were historic and wouldn't allow dogs. I didn't want him in the car all day.

dukedogsmom, Europe is beautiful. I have travelled around Europe before with my family but this time it is more special since I have Andrew and Drake with me. Wiesbaden, the town I live in is very historic and old.

Andrew has a 4 day weekend for Presidents Day and we have reservations to spend 2 nights in Garmisch (Winter Olympic site) to ski and snowboard. And then on our way back home, we have made reservations to spend the day and night in Munich and sightsee. Can't hardley wait. And then we are off to Prag at the end of February.

Hey Souraya, if you come to Munich I would be glad to take you somewhere for dinner!

I know Trier very well because my parents live about 45 min away. I have seen the Porta Nigra (which has been built about 300 years a.C.) since I was a child;)

These pictures are great...thanks for sharing!!!

I've been to Trier and the Mosel river some ten years ago and I loved it!!!

yay :) great photos :) I always wanted to visit Germany :) From the time I started to learn german :) I hope some day I´ll go to Germany :)

By the way, thanx for sharing :D

is beautiful.

Thank you so much for sharing.

The last time I went to Trier was on a class trip in elementary school.
If I remember correct Trier is the American sister city of Fort Worth, TX, where I live now.
Souraya, you were pretty close to my home town.
Here is a link to some pictures, click on Fotos:
