2011—Frankfurt am Main
I ventured into Frankfurt
with my lovely hosts of the past few days—Ingo, Claudia, and their son
Jonah. The city was a fascinating juxtaposition of old and new. Glass and metal
stood beside timber frames and stone.
It was a lovely day, one of the few that I have experienced free of rain
thus far, so I strolled the streets with an ice cream cone. Pictures should suffice…

| Römerberg Plaza. This area was destoryed in the Allied bombing of April 1944, laying in ruins for years until the city restored it's historic center in the early 1980s. |
 |
| Frankfurt seems to be a whee bit flooded... |
 |
| Dom Sankt Bartholomäus, aka Saint Bartholomeus's Cathedral (for us Amerikaners). |

My German dictionary and I conquered
the washing machine, and the grocery store. Exciting, eh?
