We arrived on schedule yesterday morning after an uneventful, yet sleepless flight from San Francisco. We had rented a car in Sacramento to drive to SFO for our flight. After a little mixup with the car return the rest of the day went smoothly.

We are finally in Europe!!

Jo met us at the airport and after a quick stop for Jim to have a cup of coffee we took the train to the to the Frankfurt main station. Our hotel is across the street and our window actually looks out over the police station. We were worried about potential noise but our fears weren’t realized. After checking in early Jo took us to a very nice and historic area with many half timbered houses. We even took a little ferry ride across the Main River to get some nice photos. We had a nice lunch and I got the schnitzel with green sauce I’d been thinking about for a long time. It was the first meal we had since lunch at SFO before our flight. We just had a few snacks on the plane.

After returning to the Frankfurt main station we went on a quest to get a Covid PCR test, at my aunt’s request. We will be gathering with the family in two days and she wanted to be sure we weren’t sick. That was an adventure. After all the walking, with my plantar fasciitis killing, me we decided around 5:30 or 6:00 that we were exhausted and were ready to call it a day. Dinner consisted of a protein bar in our hotel room. We showered and went to bed early and I had my first good nights sleep in quite a while.

My photos haven’t made it from my phone to my iPad yet. I’ll add some pictures after that happens.
