Cologne is a pretty city with architecture
influenced by the Dutch as well
as the Italians and the French. But what I
loved most about the city was the cathedral. It’s nearly over the top Gothic
architecture is jaw-dropping. So I was stunned when one of our party absolutely
refused to go inside – and was nasty about it. All I could think was ‘ugly
American’. Our tour guide was gracious, recommending a nice place for a cup of
coffee while this person and a companion waited for the tour to continue.
Better manners would have been to inquire as to a café location and quietly
state that they would wait for us there; it doesn’t cost anything to be polite.
