Mario!-July 31st, 2012


Today we arrived in Frankfurt! We got our bags and proceeded to find our way to a train that would take us close to our hotel. In this process we got lost, confused and couldn’t read the train map at all. After about 45 minutes of frustration, we finally got some real help and were able to get on the right train. We made it to the Hauptbahnhof, which is the main train station in Frankfurt and is a few blocks from our hotel. We then had a hard time finding the street our hotel was on and when we finally found it, we felt a little awkward because we were hauling a bunch of suitcases down the middle of the Red Light District. The Red Light District is where a bunch of prostitutes/strip clubs are. Our hotel was very nice, but it was not in a very good location. The room was small and they had 4 twin beds in there instead of 2 queens. After we all got freshened up and settled in we went and did some exploring of the city. While we were out we went into one bar and the owner/bartender’s name was Mario, he really liked us and enjoyed our company. I experienced my first German beer. At about midnight, I called it a night and went back to the hotel. It wasn’t too hard to fall asleep with all the noise outside because I was extremely tired.
