We stayed in Frankfurt today to take a look around downtown where all the excitement for the European Soccer Championship matches is happening. We walked along the Main River and looked at the Fan Zone before it filled with fans. This evening Turkey and Portugal will play. Tomorrow Germany plays Switzerland right here in Frankfurt. Everyone is getting ready for that exciting match.
This is the fine art museum we still need to visit:
There are big screen TVs everywhere!
We walked over to the Three Kings Church, but it was closed.
Then back to the Romer Platz for some lunch.
This is a very typical German meal (not ours).
While we were eating, a huge parade of Turkish fans came by, singing and shouting. There were 100s of them on their way to the Fan Zone. There is so much excitement in the air!
We went inside the St Paul’s Church that is more of an assembly hall for important meetings. JFK spoke here shortly before his death.
We stopped by the Strewwelpeter Museum. This was one of the first illustrated children’s books ever, printed, here in Frankfurt in 1844. It sold more than 30 million copies. The tales are pretty violent and gruesome to scare kids into being obedient.
