**APRIL 5, 2011** We started off the the day by grabbing a bite for breakfast. then we walked around town on the way to the lady of our nation cathedral. even the strolls around the city are fun. we see so many things, so many people, and kind of makes yo think of our beautiful U.S.A. when we got to the cathedral we took a tour wasn't expensive. but an extremely beautiful sight. like almost everywhere we have been so far. after the visit to the cathedral we stopped to get some lunch at wenge, a local lunch favorite, I thought it was good too. then we just had to go see the US Military cemetery. to honor*nting spaghetti the whole time we have been in europe!

After the stroll we decided to take a guided bus tour, which took about three and a half hours. we decided to mix things up grabbed some lunch at oberweis a cake bakery. and just like it sounds we ate cake and cupcakes and various other dishes for minimum $$.
