Apr 21, 2009 - Side Trip: Mainz

So my co-worker Allison and I decided around lunchtime today that we were through with all the crap we were going through at work and we wanted to get out and do something.

According to legend Trier was founded around 2000BC by Trebeta, son of Semiramis, the queen of Assyria. ... Around the 3rd century AD Trier developed into a center of Early Christianity, which explains the rich history of the ruins I saw on my trip here. ...
