Frankfurt

We're finally in Germany! It certainly was quite the experience.

So here's what I've learned so far:

        1. Never, ever try to carry two 40+ pound suitcases up and down escalators in a crowded airport. You will fail miserably.
        2. Why yes, a hostel check in counter CAN double as a bar.
        3. It takes a small army of people (several Japanese, a couple of Australians, me John, and a super helpful German) to figure out the train ticket kiosk.
        4. European modern art museums are waaay more sketch than American ones.
        5. Germans love the Hoff too.

I'm sure I'll be learning many more invaluable lessons along the way. On to Weimar tomorrow.

Germany Bound

I'm leaving for Germany tonight! We fly into London and then on to Frankfurt in the am....well technically the pm with the time change. I've got more stuff with me than I know what to do with and I'm sure I'll be quite the entertaining site walking through the airport....I finally caved and took a second bag. I'm not so sure about this whole blog thing. Its just slightly weird to be writing about myself...maybe I'll keep up with it or maybe I'll just get really distracted by everything! Hopefully there will be more to come!
