NOT TURKEY...Germany (Part 3)

On another day of our 4-day break, I went to Trier...the oldest city in Germany. It was built by the Romans and one building they built, called Porta Nigra or "black gate", still stands today.

Porta Nigra is the last of the great structures that used to surround the city.


I took a tour inside.

Interior staircase


Views of Trier's market square from the gate




The naughty monkey fountain. Look closely and you'll see why.

What's that monkey doing to the other one?


Is that a mirror in his hand? The picture I didn't attach involves self-pleasuring.


Other marvelous buildings




The Cathedral. This is the most awesome one I've ever seen.

Hallway outside the cathedral

The inside


Massive organ pipes



That wraps it up for this trip to Germany.
