Land of my Grandfathers

Attendorn, Germany
Standing inside my Great-Great Grandfathers house Wilheim Steinmetz. It's quiet airy inside.
But his neighbors house to the right is still standing. Ur-Ur-Grandfather Steinmetz house was where the parking lot is on the left.



Attendorn

Guten Morgen Attendorn! Land of my grandfathers. (Steinmetz and Flusche) on my grandmothers side.
Hotel Zur Post where I stayed last night. I traded in the green bike for a Grey Skodia! Sweet car!

Köln Dom

Auf Wiedersehen Köln Dom

Marketplatz

Retail research. H&M across from Zara.

Brauhaus Früh am Dom

This was my Köbes (waiter) bringing my third beer.

He keeps track of the number of beers by marking the coaster. I'm stopping at three!

One of the towers from the Dom soars above the umbrellas and buildings.




Brauhaus Früh am Dom

The Waiters/Bartenders at Brauhaus Früh am Dom are called "Köbes". If your beer gets below the halfway mark, then they automatically bring you another glass. The pic below signifies to the Köbes to bring another glass.

The pic below means "Stop!", I've had enough!

Lunch at Brauhaus Früh am Dom. Strongly recommended by Wolfgang :)



Köln

The iPhone camera won't do the Dom justice. I need to switch to my Nikon camera.

Magnificent Köln Dom
