I visited Trier back in the 1960s, when I was fascinated by touring Europe, especially the castles and cathedrals. I no longer remember all the details, but it was a beautiful place. And it has a special place in the spread of Christianity through Europe.

What a dreadful business.

I was there in 1971. I remember a restaurant called The Schieffer Keller, the Roman ruins (Porta Nigra), and drinking Bitburger pils (Bitte ein Bit, as the ads would say). I just recently found out Carl Marx (spit) lived there.

I need to make a trip back there to see the changes.

I recall around 1958 my parents took us to visit Salzburg, Austria. We walked down all those steps from the hill/mountain. My father recalled that from WWII plus Dachau. I will never forget our trip to Dachau. Sounds like you saw the beauty of those cathedrals. The last time I saw Germany was after Vietnam. I took leave in Christmas 69 from Ft Bragg to see my parents. That was the last time there was still 4 marks to the $.
