Running to the River - Cologne, Germany

One thing that kept coming back to me is the idea that I’ve read about these places and seen pictures. But to experience them is so much better.

I’m not sure the pictures really did this justice. However, I couldn’t resist physically touching this beautiful building. The phrase “If walls could talk” came to mind. I bet this building would have fantastic stories to share.

And speaking of stories…this is the Hohenzollern Bridge. It’s hard to see, but the walkway wall is filled with padlocks. Tons of padlocks that lovers have placed there to represent their love. It’s listed as one of the “Love Lock Bridges.” What if you didn’t bring a lock with you? No worries. On the walkway along the river, sat many vendors selling them!

​​Now that is a story to write about. Don't you agree? I might have to include something similar in one of my books. Have you read a book where this is included?
