After visiting the
cathedral Heinrich toured other parts of Metz. He found a much more
modern church in the city. The steeple for this church was not
attached to the building but soared very high into the sky. It seemed
to be a hundred feet tall.
Nearby were the botanical
gardens. It was a pretty cold day and after walking for several
minutes in the chilly gardens, Heinrich discovered a glass walled
building. When he went in he was very happy to discover that the
building was warm. It was a green house with lots of beautiful
plants. One of this favorites was
a Christmas cactus that was in full bloom. Heinrich really liked the
Purplish red flowers.
Further into the building
Heinrich discovered a citrus tree that was full of ripe fruit. He was
going to taste one but the lady he was with didn't think that was a
good idea and wouldn't let him try just one.
Not only was the
greenhouse full of beautiful green plants there were also beautiful
bird songs. Heinrich kept looking until he found where the music was
coming from. He found a very large bird cage with many colorful
parakeets. He enjoyed the plants, and the birds and especially the
warmth, but too soon it was time to wander back out in to the chilly
weather.
