This morning our son, Aaron and his wife Abbey flew into Frankfurt. We’ve been waiting for them! The next 10 days we will take a little time off to spend traveling with them to places we love and to places we haven’t been to yet. It’s going to be oh, so fun!
Today we started with downtown Frankfurt, just to keep them awake.
We took the train to the Römerberg, the main plaza in Frankfurt and showed them around.
Here’s John teaching them about Frankfurter Kranz, a traditional popular cake found in bakeries all over Germany, made to look like a crown. The cake dates back to the 18th century when the German Emperor was crowned in Frankfurt.
Of course they had to try some! We also explained our “Pastry in Every Town” policy.
We did a little shopping for some food for our trip. Abbey has some food sensitivities, so she found things she is able to eat and enjoy.
I am happy to see that STOLLEN is back!! Christmas is coming!! This is my favorite late night with hot chocolate treat!
These two love gummi candies, so we stopped at this little candy shop.
We also stepped inside St. Katharine’s Lutheran Church.
Then we smelled the hot fresh popcorn and picked up a couple of bags to eat in the car. YUM.
Before leaving, we stopped at the Dom, majestic and beautiful.
What was left after the bombs that dropped on 22 March 1944:
For dinner we stopped at John’s favorite Brat shop.
Tomorrow morning our road trip begins!
