75. Vlogging


Scarlet, Arden, and I have decided to start a vlog. This is a video blog for those who don't know. The reason behind this decision is kind of shaky. In the end, we've just had too much time to spend on youtube, and want to be like all the famous video bloggers we have - creepily - come to know and love. Today was the perfect day to start on this vlog. We went on a city tour and the huge Köln Cathedral. So we made sure to video along the way and while we don't really know the direction we are going to take quite yet, it'll be fun to explore the realm of video editing. Scarlet has already uploaded a short edited video to her Facebook.


City Walks are fun because we get to people watch and see all of the historical buildings. Our favorite people today were:
1.The Elvis dancing king.  A guy, not a street performer, just a normal guy doing his thing. This thing was dancing at the top of the stairs of the Köln Cathedral. Brody admires him.
2. The Under the Sea Street Performer. This guy stays in the center of town playing his drum thing and his music sounds exactly like it's out of a Disney movie. Also, I think he might live in the square because he is ALWAYS there.
3. McDonalds cashier. There is a McDonalds a block away from our house. Today it was hot. Today we got McDonalds milkshakes. The cashier spoke excellent English and gave us exactly what we wanted.
4. Dogs. Every single dog. We love watching the dogs. When we get home we are getting a huge dog, and are constantly brainstorming name ideas for this dog.
5. Sk8er boi. That's right, we saw you fall.
6. Cathedral Police. They all look totally authoritative in their long red male dresses.

 Speaking of the cathedral this thing is HUGE. It's the fourth biggest out of a certain categorization of cathedrals. I don't really know. Its just big.


To put it in perspective, the picture on the left shows a model of what is on the top of the spire in the picture on the right.

Another amazing thing we saw was a cologne shop that had a fountain of flowing cologne. A FOUNTAIN OF COLOGNE. I took a picture.



















Our day ended in a trip to Brody's favorite place - the grocery store - where we think we were scolded by a clerk, but we can't speak this language, so we're not really sure.
