This whole adventure began when I got out of class early. One of the other students (and the only other English speaker in the class) and I wanted to get out of Groß-Gerau and since I have car, we naturally decided to go somewhere that required I drive on the Autobahn. I have been dying to do this since I got here! He wanted to show me the bar and club district in Frankfurt, so that's where we went!
Driving on the Autobahn was intimidating...for 2.5 seconds. Then it was just awesome! All I could think the whole time was; "Look at me, driving 185 kph, no big deal." Pretty. Stinkin. Cool. I only have one issue with highways in Germany. They are nothing like highways in America. They are like a maze. If you miss your exit, there is no u-turning at the next exit. So make sure you know where you want to go and exactly how to get there. Don't worry I only missed my exit once, and it was a pretty easy fix.
So we got to Frankfurt and started walking towards the bar district. You can imagine I was surprised when I saw this:
HOOTERS!
it's almost like being in america, except even more overpriced.
So we walked over the Rhine to get to the Marktplatz and all the cafes that are there. I tried schnitzel and spaetzle for the first time and they were both sooooo yummy! After our lunch we just walked around the Marktplatz and the city center.

old churches are my favorite
so this is my favorite picture i have taken while in germany.
couples bring locks and lock them on the bridge as a sign that their love can't be broken.

dark chocolate and coconut eis for dessert
i think this is my favorite combination so far :)
Frankfurt was so much fun and it was great to actually see the city during the day. I LOVED getting to drive on the Autobahn. German food is YUM-maz-ing. And I got to learn a bit about Frankfurt's history. I'm planning on going back tomorrow with a fellow au pair. Exciting :)
