Finally

I just want to let everyone know that I arrived safely into Frankfurt yesterday morning. My debit card didn't work at 2 ATMs but, thankfully, it did on the 3rd. Thinking that I would save a little cash and maximize my tourist time, I decided to take the overnight train from Frankfurt to Paris. It didn't leave until 10:50 so I had about 12 hours to bum around Frankfurt. I spent most of the time just walking around the city. I visited churches, and thought about going to some museums, but only went to the Icon Museum because I'm kind of interested in that stuff. I attended an evening mass at one of the churches, but struggled to stay awake from fatigue. Needless to say I'm not the most pleasant sight to behold. I had about 4 hrs sleep at home before leaving, then I've spent the last two nights on a plane and train. Also, the pack was heavier than anticipated. I look so bad that a bum didn't even ask me for change in the train station after questioning everyone else. I'm in Paris now, and found a hostel (Woodstock Hostel), so I'll have a bed and shower tonight. I plan on going to Chartres and Versailles today, but we'll see. I love you all.
Tired but safe,
Brett
