Still in Trier, this is the Porta Nigra (Black Gate in Latin), a city gate that dates to the 2nd century.

We spent the night just outside of Trier in a hotel that was also a winery. This region is very famous for it's Rieslings. The steep hills that the grapes grow would really give the people who tend to the grapes and harvest a work-out.


On Sunday, we drove through Luxemburg to France. It is Europe's 3rd smallest country.
