Weekend short trip - Mainz

A very friendly colleague invited us to visit the city he live - the Mainz.

5 of us made the trip last Saturday, it took only 30 mins by train from my place.
Attraction in this city was about the Rome empire 'proof' which is found in this city.
He told that it is about 2000 KM from his place to the Rome, Italy. So it is really amazing in long long time ago, which could be 2000 years back, the Rome empire had already spread their troops to this country.
No air plane, no train, no car. That time they only have chariot and their legs, I think it could take them months or even years to travel from Rome to Frankfurt. But, the greedy of human on the power had overcome all these obstacles, I think this is the 'good' output from a 'bad' intention.

The day ends with a very nice place, the beer is very very nice. Sweet, and fresh.. Hmmm.. Ok, I am not too good in describing the taste of something, but I can only say it taste much much better than those bottle beer I tried before.

And, this is our dinner. YES, each of us order the same plate, and we are all surprise with this BIG portion of pork knuckle. It taste nice, but just too big, end up we waste the food, no one able to finish it. We should have order 2 for all of us, I always think waste of food is a very bad habit...
crispy pork knuckle

inside, the meat is tender, and 'chewy' due to the fat... yes, it is very sinful for your weight...
