One day we took a trip to the "triple point" where Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands all meet. If you look closely, my right root is in Belgium and the Netherlands while my left foot is splitting the Netherlands and Germany.
During our stay, we went back to the Eifel, this time in Monschau. After brunch and a tour of the city, we embibed in the local brew, Zwickelbeir- a delicious dark unfiltered brew. (my favorite so far.)
We also had the opprtuntiy to visit Sozialwerk and learn about the incredibly far-reaching services it provides to the citizens of Aachen. It was a very educational and inspiring day!
Here is the cathedral in Aachen. While this is a model, the building itself is so large that it was difficult to capture it all in one frame. It is probably one of the most beautiful that we have visited.
Inside this ornate box is the robe of the Virgin Mary from the Nativity, which is housed insode the cathedral of Aachen. This cathedral is also home to the bodily remains of Charlemagne.
Also, while on the tour of the beautiful city, we learned about the story of printen. We also had the opportunity to try some of this delicious holiday treat that is only available year-round in Aachen.I would also like to mention the WONDERFULLY AMAZING trip to the spa that the team had. Aachen is know for the healing thermal waters from the earth, and we were able to spend the majority of a day loosing ourselves in the relaxation the spa had to offer. For understandable reasons, I was not able to get any pictures of the team relaxing the day away.
