Hi from Frankfurt!

Hi everyone, we are in Frankfurt, Germany. After i sent my email this morning, we walked downtown one last time and found a tower of a church with an overlook, so up we went! 295 stairs later, sweating and huffing, we came out on the top. What a view in 360 degrees. It was great.
It took all afternoon to get to Frankfurt. Our train came in the south terminal of the city and we found out we needed to get to the main terminal of Frankfurt, so we had to negociate the ticket system to catch a local train (very much like BART) to get to the main train station. Our hotel was just across the street. We are getting very good at hauling our suitcases behind us.
If I have learned anything, its think small on a European trip. I had already downsized my suitcase once before leaving, and after 5 weeks of hauling my medium suitcase around, I wish that I had brought a carry on size case. There have been many times where there was no elevator in the hotels and we hauled suitcases up flights of stairs. Or jumping on and off trains. You have to be fast, they dont wait for you when opening and closing their doors. So next trip, small and small.
Talk to you soon. lots of love from Germany!
By the way, Karen found a cool Hummel. It was a little boy at a gate ringing a doorbell for Doctor Muller. He had a bandage on his right forehead and holding his left hand on his other side of the forehead. It was great, as Stan and Karen have both hit their heads on this journey. Perfect way to remember Europe!
