We shared a lovely, HOT day in Cologne with friends- co-workers Dave and Dana, and a German student of Adam’s, Sascha. He was an excellent tour guide and host.

We walked throughout Cologne, then had a tasty dinner near the river. I had the tagliatelle with cream, bacon, and chanterelles. It was creamy, smoky, and earthy. Adam had grilled pork cutlets in a creamy, chanterelle sauce. It, too, was very yummy! Good food. Good friends. Good life.

After dinner we found a spot near the river to watch the fireworks display- wow!!!! It was over thirty minutes long and synchronized to 70’s music. It was awesome although none of my pictures prove it 🙂
