Today was officially our last day. We slept in, had a nice long breakfast, then swapped pictures. We took just a few on this trip! I have over 1 Gig of photos! That's a ton! After all that, we said good bye to Paul (our fearless leader), his wife Nancy, and Robby. They are on their way to tour some more of Europe!
Barb, Gary, Jane and I headed out to do a little more touring and some souvenir shopping. The weather was cold, windy and wet. It is October after all. But everything is changing color for the fall, this is the best time of year! I love it!
We stopped off for a coffee and warmth, then made our way down the narrow cobblestone streets, taking it all in. 
I had to really allow myself to feel like I am in GERMANY!!! This is a very sweet town, with lots of character. I have to say I have really enjoyed my time here.I bought myself a scarf, or pachmina. Everyone here wears them here and they are wonderful! I bought it just in time too! As soon as we walked out of the store I bought it from and put it on it started raining. So I just pulled it up over my head and I was just fine!
One last pub stop! One last toast! Here is to Cologne!
We had a crappy dinner, the first lousy meal yet. I just think I did not like it because it was to Americanized and the service was horrible. Oh well they can't all be outstanding.
Back to the hotel, said good bye to my folks, they are staying a few more days at a different hotel. Then it came time to pack.....not an easy task I might add. My bag was full when I came here and now I have more clothes and the gifts I bought....I made it all fit, barely.
Jane and I are catching the 7am train to the airport, then my plane leaves at 9:45am. I will arrive in Portland at 11:20am. Its a 9 and a half hour flight. Then drive home and see my family!!! I miss them so much. Don't worry, I wont leave again for 6 months.
So, good night and good bye Germany.
