Flowers On The Windowsill

Our apartment in Frankfurt last spring had a ledge. So when Andreas bought me these flowers, that's where I put them.

Fruhlingfest Fun

Last year we went to Munich and saw Michelle, who dragged us to Fruhlingsfest. It's like Oktoberfest, but in the spring.

Lunch In Cologne

During our short trip to Cologne we had a meal at a local pub near a Christmas market. My goulash was excellent. Andreas liked his soup and chicken. 

Barrettes

I found these pretty wooden barrettes at the Cologne Christmas market.

Aroydee Again

I don't know why this wasn't with the earlier stuff, but it's Thai and in Germany for our last major meal there.  So, of course, it's Aroydee.  Good as usual.

Great Finds

I found the Zubrowka in a grocery store in France and the Lillet in one in Germany.  Now to get time and inclination to drink a bit...

Snack In Frankfurt

After five weeks in Frankfurt, I decided I couldn't leave the next day without an apple strudel.  While we waited on a sunny day for my son to show up, I had strudel and a cappucino.  Andreas had a milkshake.  We were happy.  Christopher, when he showed not long after, inhaled nachos.

Daniel's Restaurant

We had hope for this restaurant on the Alte Gasse. Unfortunately, our hope was not realized.  The food was bland and uninspired. At least it was fresh.

Church Clock

A pretty church bell and steeple near Eschenheimer Tor in Frankfurt.  Taken early in the evening.

Spanish Steak And Tapas

There's a Spanish restaurant just off the Hauptwache that's Buenas something and it's very good.  They do steak - they cook or let you cook on a stone - and tapas.  We had a very good and filling meal there.

Another Lunch Alone

Another lunch alone during the last week in Frankfurt.  This one was right off the Romer Platz.  There was a lot of sauerbraten on my plate, and it was good.

Lunch Alone

While Andreas was at class, I had lunch at an outdoor cafe.  The tomato soup was truly good.  The schnitzel was average.  I even stitched some.

Hauptwache Lunch

On one of our last days, Andreas and I ate at the cafe at the bottom of the Hauptwache tower.  The food was somewhat expensive (location, I presume), but good.

True Visit To Germany

While in Mainz, there was a band playing "99 Luftballoon."  

The 12 Apostles

This restaurant is typical German food, and about two blocks from our apartment.  When we went, it was very good.  We both had the very thick and brothy gulash soup. I had a caprioska.  I also had a steak salad and Andreas had wiener schnitzel.

Beergarden Food

This was food from a beer garden near Sindelfingen.  The Fowlers brought is there.  Food was delicious and we got to spend time with our friends.

Back To Aroydee

Aroydee is totally wonderful in person, much better than delivery.  The chicken was crisp and tangy, and the eggrolls were too.  We both had soups; Andreas' was huge and tasty.
