Frankfurt


Saturday May 16th we drove from Stuttgart to Frankfurt. We went to Nordsee again for a fish lunch. We then drove around Frankfurt a bit looking for a building that I had seen photos of. Here it is!

In the evening we went for a 25 minute walk through Frankfurt to the downtown area. Here we saw a VW Jetta Wagon TDI just like ours.

Frankfurt is the financial capital of Germany, and its New York like skyline is very pretty.

And a view of the north Atlantic pack ice breaking up... amazing! And back home once again. It was a great adventure through five countries, each different, and each very, very enjoyable.
