Cologne, Food and Stuff

Cologne
Cologne is a really small town. It is nice and colorful… If you are more interested to check out the beauties of this city please click here: Cologne and find out for yourself.

There is really not much to do here except to check out the Cathedral, very Gothich impressive piece of architectural structure, and the Chocolate factory, which we visited.

I am proud to say that the world owes Chocolate to Mexico big time since it was there where it was manufactured as to what is known today among many other uses such as medicinal and energetic drink by the Aztecs. Chocolate is one more thing to add to our list of great things. According to the Chocolate factory, Chocolate was taken to Europe with Ernan Cortez (Mexican Conquistador) and once it was introduce to royalty its popularity was widespread to all Europan countries and thus, the world as it was known at that time.


Food
As far as food, we are eating a lot of sausage. There is pizza everywhere, Cold Sandwiches, a lot of fruit, pasta but mainly different kinds of sausages. It drives me nuts the lack of ice here. Drinks are room temperature and even beer is not ice cold like in the USA. I think it has to with the fact that their winter is really long and they only have a few months of hot weather so they do not see the difference between really cold drink and/or room temperature drink.

I can not enough of the sausages here. They are great and the smell of them is so inviting that I barely resist every time. Also, I like the fact that most of their deserts are fruit oriented. It seems healthy. Ice Cream in another big one here desert here and you can find it everywhere.

Surprise, Surprise: Dunkin Donuts is everywhere in Germany. They love those donuts. You can also find a lot of bakeries, with focus on sweet bread.

Finally, Argentinan Cafes are popular here and they are everywhere. I rarely eat there due that they are expensive. It cost about 25 euros to eat a steak and then you have to add the sides and then the drinks.

I have to say that even though cost us a lot of money, we had a great lunch at a Spaniard (not the same as Mexican, or TEXMEX) restaurant. We had the best paella and the best Spanish (from Spain) beer in Holland.

Stuff
We are leaving Cologne today and moving to the Mexico VS Portugal game in Gelsenkirchen.
