Frankfurt Arrival Day

---

Our overnight flight to Frankfurt went very smoothly. We even arrived about 1/2 hour early. Germany is 7 hours ahead of us in Chicago. We departed at 7:40 PM from O'Hare and arrived in Frankfort at 11:30 local.

We couldn't check into our hotel until 2:30, so we decided to take a long walk along the Main River, which runs through the middle of Frankurt. It was a beautiful day, sunny and high 70's. We walked through an old section of town called the Rumer, which is kind of a large square with old cathedrals and shops.

We stopped at an outdoor cafe right on the river and participated in the national pastime, having a couple beers with the locals. We're trying to get our days and nights back in order (I'm writing this at 4:30 AM) and tomorrow we take a cruise on the Rhine River between the towns of Rudesheim and Koblenz.

How's the Beer
I don't know yet if it's stronger. It is not as carbonated as American beer, which I like. Dan's bag was 9 pounds overweight at O'Hare and he had to take some things out and put them in our carry on. What new??

"Why did I try to pack so many shoes!"
Dan broke out in a sweat because he knew his luggage was over the 50 lbs. limit! How would he be able to bring home those great Beer Steins!!
