...your hotel gives you free internet.
Today is our last day, we leave tonight from Frankfurt on the overnight train. Both of us are looking forward to getting back to Paris, and back to our regular lives. We are officially off German food, and our last couple of meals have been Chinese and Indian. A person can only eat so many meals of sausages and other forms of pork.
But I digress.
Quick update.
We picked up our rental car in Wurzburg last weekend, and were a bit surprised when they wouldn´t accept Erik´s drivers license. Turns out it expired in July, and since it´s not something we use often over here, we never realized it. So I got to do all the driving on the autobahn, which wasn´t nearly as scary as I expected. But I do now understand why everyone here drives nice cars. Trying to merge onto the highway where everyone is going 130 km/h+ in a Ford Fiesta that doesn´t really accelerate at all isn´t only not fun, it´s kind of scary. But we made it up the Rhine Valley and back in one piece, and have enjoyed some great views of the valley and it´s vineyards, and visited some great castles.
We´re happy to be back in a big city, and did a little bit of wandering around yesterday. It´s nice to see people on the street that are under the age of 60, and who probably aren´t tourists. Frankfurt seems to be a big city that doesn´t have too much to distinguish it from other big cities, but we did see an interesting museum featuring some ruins from a Jewish ghetto from the middle ages. Today we´re hoping to hit the modern art museum and the museum of communication. Or, if the sun comes out, we might just hang out on a patio. We´re hoping a few drinks will make the train ride less painful tonight.
We´re looking forward to catching up with everyone once we get home.
Tchus!
ps. I feel that I need to mention that it has rained EVERY SINGLE DAY that we´ve been in Germany. Some days have been worse than others, but come on!! Didn´t the weather hear that we were on vacation????
