The bits still there were preserved in 18th century houses, now removed. The second pic is the Carolingian Aula Regia. Way cool.

So, this didn’t work out so well. Due to Corona we were not able to see the exhibition “Säulen der Macht” in Mainz. But, will come back on Tuesday.

Today seems to be rain all the way. Yesterday we had long dry spells and used them for a short hike down the Brodenbach to Brodenbach on the Mosella.
