Here are some more pictures from our trip to Trier. We saw a lot, and this trip was by far my favorite so far.

* Can you believe that Jesus' Robe will be held here?!?! Unfortunatley, it was not displayed while we were there...It will begin being displayed there sometime in 2012. Hopefully, we will be here still to be able to see it. Amazing!*

*The Electoral Palace*

*the Imperial Garden of the Electorial Palace*
Photobucket

*The whole Electoral Palace. Isn't it grand?! The brown building right behind the Palace on the left is Saint Peter's Cathedral. The Cathedral is only standing because of the Electoral Palace. It protected Saint Peter's from being bombed and destroyed. The Palace itself has been completly restored, because it was bombed.*

Yes, there are still many more pictures to come....maybe 100 or so. Yes, i know thats a lot to share, but this trip was sooo breath-taking...and the history......leaves me speechless.
Hope you enjoy the pictures....even though they do no justice for the actual sights........:)

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Monday!
