Things were seen
Tooth
Things were going well, unacceptable by modern standards, and naturally a tooth decided to disagree with me on its rightful place in my mouth. Some googling, asking around and 20 euros later, our disagreement got settled. This settlement was of the temporary persuasion I'm afraid, as it would claim a lot more than 20 euros as tribute in the coming year. Another time another story.
Map
Out came my map to navigate my way back to the dorm when a curious marking caught my eye some distance to the north. It seemed to look like a wall, not any wall, but the fortified kind of wall. I decided to investigate. The way to it was rather uninteresting, but there were fish and a pigeon. No sooner had I got to said wall, that I immediately regretted not seeing it earlier.
Good
The wall and its towers were in decent condition, as tall and as thick as you'd expect them to be, wonderfully surrounded by lush vegetation and clear water. Most things in Metz are surrounded by lush vegetation and clear water come to think of it. Must be why I like the place so much.
Bad
There were even scenes that reminded me of home. Clearly the French were learning a thing or two about preserving their history from others.
Eventually after going north, I started going south, the wall was protecting a peninsula. After a while I decided to look on my map, and after doing so I decided to turn back and cross a bridge I had seen. There seemed to be something promising further east.
Chapters
And because there is much more to say I shall say it another time. To be continued...

| Is a caption really necessary? |

| Something tells me this bridge used to be more impressive |
