Cologne shopping plaza Another view of the shopping plaza The Stollwerk chocolate factory and museum.  The samples were delicious! Wednesday, August 11: -  - Steffen took today off so that he could join us for a visit to the German Museum in Bonn. It was an excellent museum, but one thing surprised us. According to them, German history starts in 1945. Bill, who was born in 1946 while I was born in 1944, teased me that I was older than Germany. We spent about three hours at the museum, then toured around Bonn, had dinner at an outdoor cafe and then headed back to Aachen. Steffen is trying to figure out how much to put into the parking meter
