So I think I found Karl Marx's house?

So this weekend was Germany. I finally made it to Trier..which is about 45 minutes away from here. Trier is a very interesting place. I had never hear of it before but it has some very interesting claims to fame. It had the Ponta Nigra and some other roman ruins, it was at one time I think the capital of the roman empire, at least according to Wikipedia. Also the church there holds the robes of Christ. I did not know that they were still existing someplace and if I would guess I would have put them in Rome. Also, in case you did not guess from the title, Trier is also the birthplace of Karl Marx. We arrived in Trier at about 10 or 10:30 am. Kathy drove which was nice. We walked around and she showed my around the center a little. There was a Woolworths there. Since it does not exist in the US anymore I had to take a picture of it and those of us who are old enough to remember it will appreciate it here. It is still just as inexpensive as it has always been. I bought a windbreaker there for 6.99 EUR because I needed a jacket to wear out, the zipper on my fleece broke. Even by USD conversion standards that is a great deal! From there we went in search of Karl Marx's house, we stopped in some stores along the way, we followed the signs and we came to a white building that said something in German about Karl Marx, we think is it the place and I took at picture. After that though we talked to another woman to help us make sure and she pointed us in a different direction, but when we got there we saw signs pointing us in the direction that we came from. So the picture posted here is maybe Karl Marx's house or it could be some random german dwelling...who knows? We also went to the Catherdral to see the robes of Christ. You can't actually see the robes but you can see where they were housed and the church is quite beautiful. I also saw the Ponta Nigra but I did miss some of the ruins..I will go back and plan to take those in with my family. One of my favorite things about Trier...I could get a large cup of coffee!!! I would almost say that BBH needs to relocate me out there and I will commute, it kills me that my coffee is the size of a shot glass! We had some traditional german food for lunch in the center and did some more shopping. All in all we had a great time. We came home at about 4pm because one of my friends from work was going to be playing the guitar and singing at one of the Irish pubs that night. So I had a couple hours to catch up on my email and my calls on Skype and then it was off again to dinner at Villa d'este. I had Tortellini de la Nonna and Laurence had a salad with Foie Gras and some other interesting, better to remain nameless things. I did try them though and it was really good. She said it was just better for me not to know what I was eating thought and I decided to take her word for it! We went to the pub early so that we had a table and good thing because it got packed. Steve sounded really good. He is from Ireland, he played some traditional Irish music and also some classic rock like the Beatles etc... I called it a night at about 1 am and Laurence was nice enough to drop me at home. I went to bed around 2pm and was rudely awakened at 6am by the continuing saga with my neighbors...somebody was ringing my buzzer at 6 in the morning. This lasted until about 6:40 at which time I was wide awake and a little freaked out, but eventually I went back to sleep. Sunday was a beautiful day and although I was exhausted I did make it out for a 2 1/2 hour walk to see different parts of Lux. I tried to find the US embassy, to no avail, but I did find some really beautiful places. The public park is huge and I spent some time walking there. As well I walked through the cemetery, which unlike ours is kind of pretty with lots of statues. I will probably go back and take some pictures there too. Are you freaked out yet? Now maybe I am being a little wierd? Well you knew that already! = )
