Since we didn't sleep til 3am, we got up and left the hostel at noon. We walked to the big cathedral, the Dom, and the surrounding area. It was like a big version of Nuremberg. Padestrian streets with a lot of shopping.

We were forced to make our first stop at the Ludwig Museum behind the Dom. You see, I brought the storm with me all the way from Milan. Since Milan, every city zi've been to has had some kinda of rain or thunderstorm. I was told thst this is weird weather for Cologne, so it must be me. At one point it looked like a waterfall outside. You probably think I'm exaggerrating these rainstorms but now you can ask Rach if I am over blowing the rain. I'M NOT!

It was a contemporary art gallery and I found a new interesting artist. Claes Oldenburg. This museum also had a permanent Picasso gallery too, but I'm not very interested in Picasso. Halfway through we get hungry so we go out and look for food. The rain subsided a little, but still pretty bad. We made a dash towards the hauptbahnoff, which is behind Ludwig Museum, and I got another half chicken. This Currywurstexpress place was craxy! 4.40 euros I got half a chicken, a drink, fries, a Coca Cola lanyard, and a big bottle of Hienz ketchup. What was I gonna do with a bottle of ketchup? I gave it back.

After lunch we finished the Ludwig museum. They had Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Worhal pieces! That was pretty cool. I like them.

We walked around the Rhein, their famous river, and then the old town, and back to the shopping area. I ALMOST bought a jacket again. But I had self control. Well, it didn't fit well also. At about 7 we start walking back to the hostel. We stop at a bar/ restaurant and have Italian food for dinner. My last day in Germany I eat spaghetti. At least I had their local beer though!
