This is a picture of the Rhine Tower. I am at the bottom taking a picture looking up. I can't recall how high it is but it USED to be the tallest tower. The man working the elevator told me the CN Tower in Toronto is higher than this one. Regardless the view is quite impressive.
I'm now inside the tower looking down on the Rhine River. You can see to the far right a line of buildings that are in the previous postings (it's the picture I took while cruising the Rhine). A plaque inside states that some people can see the cathedral in Koln from here. I will post a picture of the cathedral in a later post, it's quite impressive.
This is an aerial view of the parliment buildings in Dusseldorf. Interesting construction. Personally, I prefer the older architecture to the modern/abstract style. I went to the tower on my own that day because my mother is scared of heights and did not think she would enjoy the view. I later did some shopping before I headed home. In fact, the pair of shoes I bought were the only ones to make it home. The other three pairs are still traveling inside my suitcase somewhere in the world. If you happen to find a red suitcase with my name on it please send it home.

I see your suitcase. It's floating down the river.
That's why it came home wet.
