Today was quite a sleepy day but a good start to our trip. We arrived
without incident at a little after 6am Frankfurt time (11pm Minneapolis
time). The only downside was fighting our way past people in customs to
stay in the line.Today was quite a sleepy day but a good start to our trip. We arrived

We checked in to the hotel Mercure and they had a room ready for us
at 9:45! It was SO wonderful to get cleaned up after such a long flight.
After a quick shower and clothes change, we headed down to Romerberg
Square, the site of a wonderful cathedral, Roman ruins and a place where
emperors and other dignitaries have been crowned and celebrations have taken
place for hundreds of years.

Grandpa and I ate at the restaurant (with the awnings to the right) in their small sidewalk cafe.

It is now 3:30pm here and Grandpa is taking a nap while I put this together.
I'll be napping soon too! I am REALLY tired.
So long for now.....
