My First German Beer: A Day Of Adventure

Last Sunday I went to Frankfurt with a fellow au pair that I met in Mainz; A. A is from Russia, but she also speaks some English and German, of course. Between my German and her English, we are able to communicate pretty well :) We met at the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof at noon and wandered around the city for about 7 hours! Even though we didn't really do anything super exciting, it was still so much fun. We took lots of pictures, wandered up and down the Rhine River, ate Eis (ice cream), window shopped, drank German beer (my first one in Germany!!), and talked about our homes, families, and friends both in Germany and in Russia/USA. Enjoy my picture journey:



who accidentally sat in first class? me.

made it to frankfurt!


if you read my blog, you know i'm obsessed with churches in europe.
frankfurt was no exception.


coolest organ ever.


love. love. love.


a mini-carshow in the middle of frankfurt.
all cars were american!!


i couldn't help but think of my grandparents. 
they had three cars from the 50s and one was a mustang. 


and my dad. he drove an old mustang.
and my brother. while growing up, i was always amazed at his knowledge of cars.


a walking street in frankfurt



i love this picture because it shows old germany and new germany :)


so texan. even in germany.
after i took this picture, A sat up here to take one and 
this man came over and yelled at us in german. 
we don't know what he said, but it didn't sound good, so we quickly ran away!


the dom


cool indoor walkway


so if you google 'frankfurt, germany' most pictures that come up are of this platz. 
it's pretty touristy and most places are pricey, 
but there is an ice cream shop that has the best ice cream!


if this picture had been taken .5 seconds later, 
you would have seen this street performer kissing me. hahaha 


the main river


and again.


this is the same bridge with all of the locks 
from my previous post about frankfurt.


and again.


so. much. walking.


downtown frankfurt


this bridge was so skinny!


at the end of a great day!


and of course, me with my first of what will be many german beers :)
