Mainz!!!

Mainz had a very home feeling atmosphere. I had a personal tourist guide by my great friends (Jonathan and Linda!!) from the area, plus a scheduled viewing of when Korea vs. Uruguay & USA vs. Ghana.

I got to see the "Dome" which is a huge historical Catholic church, plus seeing the famous Jewish artist, Marc Chagall, on contract did a stained glass project for a church, but passed away before he could see his finished work.
































The Gutenberg Museum was very informative. I did not take many pictures because they were not allowed. But I did get one picture of a huge printing press that was located in entrance hallway. What I learned is that nobody knows what Gutenberg looked like, the sculptures and drawing are just representational.

For those who do not know, Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press at a time where Martin Luther nailed the 95 These on the doors of church. There is also valid research that in the Asian countries, Korean and Japanese were really the original inventors.
