one of our four days in germany, we toured the old city of mainz. i had spent some time there a year ago when i attended a wedding in mainz, and got to know the city a little bit. another of my childhood friends named alex lives there, and i got to meet up with him again this trip. We had a nice stroll around the city, with him tour guiding us around all while catching up about what has been happening in our lives.
half of mainz is a “new” city, while the other half is the old city. this was mainly since during world war 2, the church dome was used as a bomb guide for bombing the city of mainz. this is that church. apparently its almost constantly under renovations.

we ended up having lunch together, and overall it was a really pleasant way to spend the day.
