We visited Mainz last weekend, a two-thousand-year-old city where Gutenberg invented the printing press. Below is a 10th-century cathedral that we were able to see from the outside. This will definitely be a city we plan to visit again, as we did not get a chance to go inside the cathedral, the World Museum of Printing, or the many shops lining the streets.

After leaving Mainz, we went to "Zwiebelmarkt" or onion festival in Griesheim. At one time, onions were a main cash crop for this town, hence the festival of onions. As it was really crowded, we didn't say long, but we did stay long enough to try an onion waffle- yum!
