The next day in Frankfurt, Anne took us to Hessenpark which was about 10 minutes away from wehre they lived. This was essentially a big outdoor museum with rebuilt old buildings from all over Hessen. There was an old church, school house, windmills, barnyard, etc. It was neat because a lot of the buildings had old relics on display.
We also at some pretty tasty ice cream called Magnum. This was per the recommendation of my brother, Alan. I'd have to say it was pretty good.
After ice cream we wondered around the park some more and fed some donkeys and maa'd at some sheep and goats. Then, we went to a German bakery and Anne bought a wide assortment of German cakes.
We went home, had coffee and cake, and sat outside. The cakes were really yummy. Axel also gave me an old suitcase full of my grandfather's documents and some old architectural tools and drawings he had done.
After sitting outside for a while, we went to a very good restaurant and had some Kase mit Musik. Cheese with music. Get it? Hehehe. It was some cheese with a vinegar sauce and onions that you spread on some bread. I also had some schnitzel and more Apfelwein. The shnitzel was the best German food I've ever tasted in my life. It had these really good rare mushrooms that just so happened to be in season as the sauce.
That pretty much sums up our trip to Germany. Now we are at the Frankfurt train station awaiting our train to Paris! Hopefully the train trip to Paris goes ok without any delays or mishaps like it did on our way to Munich!
Wow. This is the first time I've read your blog. It's fun to read it even now, though. Love it!
