We had originally thought about driving to Nurnburg to see the zoo there.  The other Eisbärbaby… We checked the weather last night and realized it would be raining there today and sunny tomorrow.  Plus we were on the road for 8+ hours yesterday.  So we decided to do nothing in particular today.  And had a great time!

We hung out in Starbuck’s for an hour or two in the morning.  Then bought some packing supplies and boxed up some stuff to send home.  It cost 74 Euros, and will take two weeks!  For lunch we ate a little of this and a little of that from the street vendors around the hotel.  Later we took a longish walk around Frankfurt.  There is more to see than we expected.  I caught this gentleman preparing for an afternoon walk around Römerberg, Frankfurt’s original town square.

 

 Later, we came across a Coffee Fellows.  They are the German equivalent of Starbuck’s (even though Starbuck’s is here too.)  We found them in Munich and liked them.  So we sat for a second coffee and relaxed a while.

For dinner we hit the street stands again and split a currywurst.  This needs some explaining… They take a sausage, basically a hot dog, but better than the cr*p we get in the US, cut it into bite-sized pieces, pour somewhat spicy tomato-based sauce over it and sprinkle curry powder on top.  Yumm!  This was our third of the trip, and maybe the best.

And that’s it.  We’ve been running pretty hard the whole trip and it was nice to do nothing for a day.  Off to the zoo tomorrow.  Flocke, here we come!
