A long day in the train makes for a weekly retrospective of various pleasant places I stopped by these last few days. You've already see my photos of Trier; below are pictures of Mayen, a small town in the Eiffel area, and of the Cologne cathedral. (Because you can't stop by Cologne, even if it's just to switch trains at one of the biggest central stations, without allowing yourself a glimpse of the cathedral. Well, you can't if you're me. :)

( Timbers, castles and cathedrals, oh, my! )
