Reflections of My Travel

We chanced another Frühstück this morning. Probably should’ve left well enough alone. Once again, the rolls were quite yummy. However, this time the lunchmeats were not as safe looking and the eggs were still runny and the beverages were still warm. It was okay. Nothing at all to write home about. I’ll keep my good American Waffle House. After breakfast, we headed back to Frankfurt and got a hotel near the airport so that we could organize and rest up for our flight home. Once we got checked in, we obtained a city map from the front desk and drove to the down town area to walk around. This was going to be our shopping day. See, we have been looking at souvenirs all along, but most of them were breakable and we didn’t want to take the chance of something getting broken while we were throwing stuff around in the car everyday so we figured that we’d wait until our last day to get all of our souvenirs and be able to pack them right for the trip home. It was a great plan. What we didn’t anticipate is that Germany has some screwy business laws and, as such, all stores are closed on Sundays. Even grocery stores. Clearly, that would have been useful information to have, say yesterday, when stores were opened. I’m very upset that we won’t have any souvenirs for any of our family. Heck, We don’t even have any souvenirs for ourselves. We made the best of it and enjoyed our downtown wandering. When we got back to the hotel, we brought in all of our stuff from the car and spent the rest of the afternoon organizing, packing, and relaxing. We just got back from a sub-par dinner downstairs and now it’s time for bed.
