    Worms is a city in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, on the Rhine River. Established by the Celts, who called it Borbetomagus, Worms today remains embattled with the cities Trier and Cologne over the title of "Oldest City in Germany."

    Worms is where, in 1521, Martin Luther broke away from the Roman Catholic Church.

    "Unless I am convinced by proofs from Scriptures or by plain and clear reasons and arguments, I can and will not retract, for it is neither safe nor wise to do anything against conscience. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen."

    On May 25, the Emperor issued his Edict of Worms, declaring Martin Luther an outlaw.

    Because of this break with the Church , the first council of Trent (1545) was held to fight reform.

    Richmond, Virginia

    Richmond is the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

    Richmond was briefly settled by English settlers from Jamestown in 1609, and in 1610–11, near the site of a significant native settlement.

    The present city of Richmond was founded in 1737. It became the capital of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia in 1780. During the Revolutionary War period, several notable events occurred in the city, including Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death" speech in 1775 at St. John's Church, and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom in 1779—the latter of which was written by Thomas Jefferson in the city.

    During the American Civil War, Richmond served as the capital of the Confederate States of America, and many important American Civil War landmarks remain in the city, including the Virginia State Capitol and the White House of the Confederacy, among others.

    We've been to Richmond - really enjoyed the Museum of the Confederacy, and we did go to St. John's Church, where Patrick Henry spoke. The mother of Edward Allen Poe is buried in the Church cemetery.
