The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I have two recommendations for Cologne. The first is a museum of roman/germanic artifacts:
roemisch-germanisches-museum.de: Römisch-Germanisches Museum Köln
I was amazed at the glass bottles and beads they had displayed. Lots of info on what life was like "on the border" between the Roman empire and the wilds of Germany.

Second, the Kathe Kollwitz museum:

20th century, sculpture and prints. I first learned about her through the amazing sculptures she had done in the cemetary of her son, lost in WW1:
en.wikipedia.org - Vladslo German war cemetery

Cologne is a very cool town. There was a massive pride parade through the city the day I was there.

One(?) reason to visit Luxembourg City is that Patton is buried in the military cemetary there. Actually, any US cemetary in Europe is worth visiting.

Rgds,
HH/Sean
