How Long Is Heated Whole Milk Good For

shoes, St. Jacques and St. Stephan

Behind me is a wonderful weekend, this is a good friend have spent here in Mainz.
On Saturday we spent with detailed stroll in the city, with coffee and croissants for the second breakfast, shopping - you should not believe how fast and satisfying shopping can be: pure in the shop, discovered a pair of shoes, tried on, bought. Booyah!
evening we went to the movies yet, "St. Jaques - pilgrims in French" (Film Review) follows.
And the day yesterday was marked by the 'day of Heritage '. First, we were the Mainz 'Roman Theatre' on. Put this excavation can be seen very well to the left bank of the Rhine from Mainz travels to the south.
The Mainz Roman theater was the largest of its kind north of the Alps. It was between BC 12/13. and some 39 AD. built. The stage house, which is not able to get - here are now driving the ICE - is 42 m wide. The spectators round, which connects to the ascending slope, has a diameter of 116 m.
is fascinating that the theater has been discovered again until 1884, when the city of Mainz expanded the former railway station, but at that time was not an archaeologist present and so were discovered Although remnants of the Wall recorded and mapped, but not recognized as a vestige of a Roman theater.
recognized this 30 years later an archaeologist from the few remaining walls in a 80 cm wide and 4 m deep trench channel realized what was hidden there in the ground.
are now exposed large parts of the theater and it will work even further. Anyone who comes along once in Mainz, should be the bare look!

directly next to it there is a second 'monument', the Citadel. This military construction in the mid-17th Century built. About the history of the Citadel, I can not tell so much, but it was exciting in the context to get an itinerary along the fortress walls in the underground passages within these thick walls insight. Then we still have
visit another highlight of Mainz, the Church of St. Stephen, whose church window 1978-1985 was designed by Marc Chagall. These are in typical Chagall-blue windows give the church a very special atmosphere.
