Romer

Frankfurt's pride, the old Romer Square, with its distinctive shaped buildings, the justice statue and the city hall. Dinner on an outdoor terrasse was the perfect end to a great day in the magnificent city of Frankfurt. 

Alt-Sachsenhausen

Frau Rauscher welcomes visitors to a glass of cider. But be careful because every 15 seconds or so, she spits a huge stream of water across the narrow street.

The Ebblewei Express

The Ebblewei (literally, Applewine) Express is a tram that takes riders on a scenic tour of the main attractions in Frankfurt while they sip hard cider and sing along to German folk tunes.

The Catherdral, Frankfurt, Germany

Arrived in Frankfurt Friday night and spent Saturday touring the city. This Cathedral is an important landmark. Its beginnings date back to the year 852. 

Visit to the Vogel Micro Brewery

My European friends and I sampled the local cuisine at a local micro brewery (and some of the beer too). We took a course in beer brewing from Herr Vogel himself and received a certificate! Many thanks to Catherine and Hans-Dietmar for making our visit to Karlsruhe memorable. 

The Castle (Schloss) in Karlsruhe, Germany

Arrived in Karlsruhe on Monday. Karlsruhe is located on the edge of the Black Forest close to Germany's border with France and the Rhine River. Founded only 300 years ago by Margrave Karl-Wilhelm, the city’s plan resembles Paris, with streets laid out in rays, like a fan, from the central point of the count’s palace. 

Kenosha, Wisconsin

On Monday this week, went to dinner with a fun group of new friends at a restaurant on the shores of Lake Michigan, and we had to have a picture with this sign. Illuminated by the headlights of 2 cars and taken with a camera phone, the quality is not great and the message - not subtle at all.
