I often find myself in the camp of "We do not build things like this anymore". I know in the back of head this is not precisely true; that said, I cannot imagine anything we are building now surviving almost a millennia and being viewed with the same sort of respect, awe, and wonder as we view these structures. Perhaps it is due to the fact that I recognize how much labor went into these, mostly all human.
We walked from the train station to the Dom (Cathedral) and then walked down the river and discovered a chocolate museum on a small island in the Rhine.
Thanks for sharing ERJ.
