Frankfurt Day 1

We are both so happy to be back in Europe and today we were definitely glad that we decided to come at this time of year.  Germans like their Christmas and it is going to be so much fun to share this time of year with them.
We went for a little walk around our area while we waiting to be checked into our hotel.  Discovered we are in a great location for walking to the majority of the sights we want to see.
First on our list today was the Christmas Market.  We drank the mulled wine and ate a pretzel and behaved liked tourists ooohing and ahhing over all the things.

Chris is having lots of fun trying all the food.  Although I am also trying it, Chris actually likes the taste of it :)
Chris has been more successful with having interactions completely in German with people.  Generally if I ask for something they respond immediately in English, which is sometimes a relief and other times disappointing.

After wandering over to the old town section of the city on the other side of the river we decided to have a couple of drinks  before an early night (boring! stupid jet lag) cause tomorrow we have a 4 hour walking tour ahead of us.
