Tying up some loose ends on our Germany travels, today's post looks at Mainz and Cologne (or, more accurately, Köln). Both cities are dominated by (and primarily toured for) their impressive cathedrals. They also happen to be cities in which we (apparently) didn't take many (good) pictures.
Mainz
Near scenic Wiesbaden, Mainz is a Roman town with impressive history and a spooky cathedral. My favorite part of the town was the Gutenberg Museum, which housed an amazing collection of beautifully-done Medieval manuscripts.

About 100 miles northeast of Mainz is Cologne. Its cathedral is huge and, frankly, quite dirty on the outside. But when 770 years old you reach, look as good, you will not.
