Arrived to sunny warm weather after four hours in the business class lounge in Frankfurt. Got there in time for the breakfast rush, which was pretty amazing.........croissants, cereal, fruit,coffee, ham, cheese, etc. Then, three hours later, at 11:00 am sharp, the pretzels and frankfurters came out. It was like a pack of dogs being thrown a leg of a cow! The pretzels are the big ones we pay too much for at a spoting event or a fair, and the hot dogs come out at record pace. And they were consumed the same way!
Got to the hotel at 3:15, checked in and took a two hour nap. Took off for a walk towards the water which is about four blocks away. The way the sound of an accordian player, echoing off the walls of the main pedestrian area is only a sound that can be heard here. It's amazing. Grab a bite to eat and by 8:00 all of the tall, lanky Africans, in their native costumes have set up for the night, trying to encourage you to buy authentic hand carved artifacts, or knock off purses, or cigarette lighters that actually look more like flamethrowers......with 2 hours of sleep in the last twenty three, good night.
