EurO Day 5 - Fit for a King

The offices of my company are on the outskirts of the city of Aachen.  Aaachen is an interesting historical city - mostly known as the final resting place of Charlemagne.  It was also the first German city liberated by the Allies in WW2.

The family came into the city today to take in the sights and do a tour of the impressive Aachen cathedral where Charlemagne's remains still exist and the coronation of German Kings were held.

I came into the city after work and met them for a nice traditional German meal of schnitzel and bratwurst.   The European's are not big ketchup fans and prefer mayonnaise with their french fries (gross!).   Most places with accommodate the obnoxious American's by supply ketchup but noticed when I got the bill that they charged us .50 for each packet of ketchup.

We made our way back to Maastricht and ended the evening with more gelato and card games.
