Aachen: The City of Charlemagne
Dale and I soaked up a ton of history today in the town of Aachen, Germany.
Shrines, Dedications, Churches, Gold and Gemstones a plenty!
We spent a beautiful day wandering the cathedral (Dom), the treasury (Domschatz), the city hall (rothaus) and the city sites in town. Added a refreshing late morning wine and coke to the agenda as well! Delicious!
Unbelievable the treasures they have stored in the cathedral treasury!
Beautiful mosaics in the cathedral
and
The architecture and paintings to die for!
Incredible to see in person!
Enjoy the slideshows that do not even do it all justice.

Maastricht, Netherlands to see the red tower!
Gave our feet a much needed break as we drove 35 minutes to the Netherlands.
Dale wished to see & photograph St. John's red tower in Vrijthof square
Holy Moly! Maastricht is a shopper's town plus some!
Loads of eateries, shops, art, buildings and people.
People really not strictly concerned with face masks, but adhering to limitations in store customers.
Bikes everywhere as well. Which is a wonderful mode of transportation seeing that it is so vast!
Too big for me, I'll stick with the little charming towns.
UNLESS I need to Shop Til I Drop!
