A Walk in the Park

December 24th

We did a little bit of last minute shopping and then went off to explore the city park

I'm not sure what this is but we thought it was neat.

When I first got to Aachen, it was cold and snowy. The cold had come up quite suddenly and many of the plants ended up frozen.


The park was quite nice with a lot of large old trees, a duck pond (that had been drained for the winter) and an old cemetery. On one side of the park, you could tell we were getting to the more expensive part of the city. There was a concert hall, an expensive hotel, the spa and a casino - we didn't go to any of them

The building here is the casino, the concert hall is to the left)

It was a nice walk and it went through a different part of town than I had been to before.
When we got back, Vladimyr made a nice pot of soup - this time with homemade noodles!
