Frankfurt

Our arrival into Frankfurt via train was 250km/h of goodness. Stopping at about 9:45pm, we arrived at a train station that makes anything in Calgary look silly. 

Unlike our hotel in Brussels, the hotel we are staying at in Frankfurt is actually livable. Clean rooms, bathrooms, beds & air conditioning (for the priveledged) were all a welcome sight to see! I also was finally able to get an Internet connection that allowed me to post some updates and check my facebook (yes, I'm a junkie ... It was hard being without fb for a couple of days..)!

The ruins in Frankfurt make for a sombre reminder of the events in WW II. I had a chance to see them first hand and see the ruins left behind by massive bombing campagins. 

There is a common theme among all the cities I've visited so far - the history. Being from a fairly young country, the buildings definitely don't have as much meaning behind them as some of the locations here. The artitecture is intricite and the story behind their existence is immaculate .. It makes for good pictures at least! :)
