Jason bravely boarded a train Thursday night and traveled through the night 12 hours to visit me. He arrived Friday morning so I went to pick him up from the train station before I went to work - this is when we both realized our first mistake - we had not planned a meeting spot. The Cologne Hbf is pretty big but after about 20 minutes of searching for each other, I bumped into him walking down a staircase.
What an amazing weekend. Friday I left work early to find Jason in the apartment helping himself to the coffee maker, cloths spewed all about my room, with a big grin on his face. "Nothing has changed" I told myself. We prayed morning prayer (at noon) and strode off the the Köln Dom. We climbed all the way to the top and discover an amazing view. It didn't seem bad at the moment but once we got down, we noticed how worn out our calves were. We must have walked up almost 1000 steps. After resting at the apartment for a while and catching up with some folks on Skype, we went to Georg's place for a night of Zwiebelkuchen and Federweißem.
Saturday we just tromped all over Cologne ravaging the city. If only the Colognian's knew what was in store for them. We had lunch at the Brauhaus Früh with some traditional German food. It was great to catch up and talk about the wonders the Lord has been working in our lives.
Saturday night we walked down to chill on the edge of the Rhine. We were suddenly caught up in an adventure when Jason swore he saw a shark and we ran down the bank of the river trying to catch a view of this fresh water shark. Although I never caught a glimpse, Jason swears he saw it's fin in the water. Surprisingly, I'm still a bit skeptical.
