Trier
is an old Roman city dating from 16BC when the Roman Emperor Augustus
founded a city on this strategic site, which makes Trier Germany's oldest
city. |
Porta Nigra - the largest surviving Roman city gate north of the alps |
The Roman amphitheater
(which has been scavenged over the centuries for stones to build houses) |

Kröv
Christiana's
family has long owned a vineyard in Kröv
and her mother still owns a condo there on the Moselle River.
We spent a weekend there enjoying their annual wine festival.
