Pizza - Photo Montage

Basically Wifey's eaten the same thing for 3 weeks straight.  

Hilton Garden Inn - Airport

After dropping off our rental car, we began following signs to the on-site hotels.  It was quite the adventure!

After various twists and turns, we found the Hilton Garden Inn!  It is nearly co-located with the Hilton Airport.  They occupy different floors in the same building.  The Hilton is of course, far more expensive than the Garden Inn :)  We did not explore.

Woo hooo - 10th floor!

Our room had an INCREDIBLE view of the area across from the Frankfort Airport.  This panorama doesn't begin to do it justice. 

Breakfast was a bit of a let-down.  It was billed as "free cook-to-order" breakfast.  Hubby did eventually get a custom omelet, but that station wasn't open when we arrived, and Wifey never did figure out what else was available for order. 

These eggs are just adorable!  

Before leaving we took a quick stop by the Business center and printed our tickets for the next week and a half!  SO EXCITED!!  Wifey was surprised to learn that German keyboards aren't the same as American ones and had a bit of struggle typing our email address to log in.  She overcame, however.   

Frankfort - General Meandering

After dinner, we made it over to Römer.  This has been the local city hall since the early 1400's when the building was sold to the city by the Römer family.  It's ironically German.  And oh, goodness, was the surrounding plaza FULL OF TOURISTS!  We spend most of our time in Germany in pretty non-tourist areas.  Even visiting Trier, you see more local tourists than the international hoard.  

Near the Römer is the Eisnerer Stag.  This is a pedestrian bridge where people attach padlocks.  We're pretty sure it is somehow connected with romantic love?!  We went there,  we took a picture. Lookey: 

Leaving the Bridge, we enjoyed a pedestrian street and came across the local high-end Carhartt store.  We were saddened that this year there were no traditional coveralls laid out as high fashion, however the exclusivity and prestige of the store did not disappoint.  

A local bookstore had the German Settlers of Catan on sale - if we wouldn't have had to haul it all over Italy next week, it'd have been a tempting purchase.  Even more tempting was this Luther board game!  Also on sale for 10 Euro!  Perhaps we'll pick it up on the trip back to America!  Who wants invited to the game-play party!?

Frankfort = More Döner

Tomorrow we leave Germany and fly to Italy for a while.  So of course ... Döner for dinner! Well Döner and Pizza. We rode the subway from our airport hotel into the city, planning to visit the
Römer area.  Wifey's perfect geographical memory failed and we ended up getting off the train one stop early.  As we walked the "10 minutes" from there to our destination (yeah, that was 10 minutes driving directions); we saw this little Döner shop and decided to stop for dinner.  

The margarita pizza was good.  Not pictured was a completely average Ayran.  

Hubby found the Döner completely unimpressive.  Here's a pic, nonetheless.  

He did, however, get to customize his own level of spicy!  

Thai :(

For dinner tonight, we ate with friends at Khao Thai Cuisine.  Wifey has been sick for the past several days and that peaked tonight.  And she hates Thai.  

Husband ordered food:

Wifey had the kids chicken strips and fried rice. 

Don't worry - tomorrow (cause we can either see the future or we blog a few days late :)) wifey will have hubby buy her some good meds from the local american store and she'll be close to as good as new!
