Flying out of Minneapolis in the afternoon,
I am equipped with a borrowed (Thanks Bridget's mom Anita!!!)
Fuji
MX-600 Digital Camera. Looking out the airplane window
I suddenly noticed a familiar sight...immediately I snapped
away like a Japanese tourist. Here are the pictures:

|
|
How many times have you flown, looked out
the window of the plane, and wondered what your house looked
like from the sky? Well I had my chance!

While flying towards Frankfurt... wondering if it is a coal
power plant or a nuclear power plant (in trouble, hehe)

Arrived at Frankfurt Main approximately 8:20am.
My good friend Helmut Franken picked me up and we drove
to CGS in Hainburg (Pictures to come SOON!) After work Helmut
and his wife Rita helped me check in to the Bed & Breakfast
minutes from their home in Moerlenbach, approximately 1 hour
out of Frankfurt:
|
|
B&B by night... |
and day. The CGS company car...
|
|
|
After checking-in the Frankens (Helmut, Rita,
and daughters Nadja and Lena) invited me to a traditional
German dinner, complete with all kinds of sausages, bread,
and cheese (the food was so good I forgot to take pictures...)

Had lunch at the Lion's Club (Pictures to come
SOON!) -seems like all I talk about is FOOD... got to come
up with more content I think.
Met Dieter for dinner at the Mainterasse right
next to the Main River in Seligenstadt:
|
|
|
|
A is Bavaria, and B is Germany... divided
by a small river. Suddenly it all became clear - in Europe
all countries are next to each other.

Drove back to Moerlenbach and rode on Helmut's
BMW bike at extremely high (legal) speeds - FUN! Turns out
Moerlenbach is located in what the Germans call the "old
woods" area, filled with forests and valleys.
Spent Saturday evening at the Knollman's (Axel,
Heike, Ina, and Pia) with Andreas for a BBQ, German-style
- even more tasty German food than I can think of...

After watching the F1 Grand Prix at Helmut's
house, the Frankens and I went to a local restaurant...
this is what I ordered - delicious pork hocks:
|
|
|
|
after dinner we enjoyed sitting at Helmut's
terrace, talked, drank apple wine, and played with the their
two dogs, Osha and Felix.
