Köln

After a rainy, restful night in Heidleberg, we took a 100m/h German ICE to Cologne this morning. Thomas H. met us and gave us the keys to his apartment so we could drop our luggage. We went back to the Cathedral and joined the throngs of young people arriving for WYD. Every once in a while we would hear a group break into song. We climbed the 500 steps to the top of the Dom and saw one of the largest bells in all the world and the relequary where the relics of the wise men are kept. Thomas has graciously invited us to stay at his apartment the next couple of nights.

I don't know if the older kids are in Colonge yet. We will spend tomorrow getting a look at the city.
