Cologne

This is us walking to the Chocolate Museum. In the background is one of the several great churches in the town.



The main treasure to the Cologne Cathedral is this Golden Shrine to the three Magi. It was made around 1200, and it is absolutely breath taking as you can see here!



Inside of the Chocolate Museum was this chocolate fountain of a golden coco tree. They would dip in vanilla wafers into the chocolate of this fountain and give them out as samples. It was so so so good!



A part of the museum had several workers demonstrating different parts of the production of Chocolate. It was neat to watch each one do their individual jobs. There was one lady who was hand wrapping this huge hallow chocolate Santa in his aluminum wrapper.



Our delicious treat in the cafe of the Museum. Jessica could barely finish either one of her items because it was all so much! But it was really good! This museum was a lot of fun, maybe the highlight of the day!
