After a long drive from Bamberg, we arrived in Aachen with a sleeping Eliot. The next morning, we walked around Aachen - a great town that is only 2 hours from Brussels. We'll be back, I think. For one thing, we did not get to go to the spa. For another, they have many stores selling lebcuchen (sp?), a German cookie usually reserved for Christmas and one of Chris's favorite foods. Rest assured that we bought some to sustain him until December, or our next visit. Turns out Eliot is a fan, too. Here's a view from our hotel's breakfast room window.
Here's Eliot on a statue in the shopping area.
Outside of the cathedral that dates to 800 AD. Something like 40 kings and queens were crowned here and it was ordered built by Charlemagne whose remains are kept in a golden ark sort of thing beneath the dome of stained glass in the following picture. We had to agree with the brochure that the church is very historically significant!
