More spiffy stuff on the walls and columns. Looking at the altar from the choir on the side. The organ above the choir. A side altar (I couldn't find out its name) with a pewter baptismal font dating from 1328 beside it. This is apparently the largest existing baptismal font existing from the middle ages. Another look at the choir from the opposite side. There are these side altars in honor of someone or another all over the place. Looking down one of the side aisles of the nave. Back outside and back in the festival. This is the Mainz Opera House. Looking up at the main tower of the cathedral. Another view of the cathedral. This is in the oldest part of Mainz. One of the historic half-timbered houses near the cathedral. The walkway of the cloister of the Mainz Cathedral. Looking into the garden of the cloister. The garden of the cloister. Playing tourists on a warm and muggy day in Germany. The Gothic castle of the Prince Elector. Close up of the doors and some of the detail of the castle. This is all that is left of a once much larger palace and residence. Our hotel room at the Hotel Mainzer Hof. In 15 days in Germany, this was the only hotel room we had with air conditioning. And we stayed in two 4-star hotels! Germany had just shut out Sweden 2-0 in the second round and German fans were celebrating in the streets of Mainz (and all around Germany). I had been in Germany many times before, I've lived there and travelled from north to south, east to west. But never have I seen German flags like what were on display during World Cup 2006. German pride in their soccer team and in their country took over everything. Woo Hoo! Outside the Church of Christ, near the hotel.
