I left the US on Friday 24 June and arrived in Frankfurt early Saturday morning. The flight was fine. Sitting in 1st class on the over night flight over is well worth it. At the airport I could not find the S-Bahn, or else did not feel like looking too hard, so I took a cab to the hotel. I am at the Hotel Bliss in the MainzerLand Strasse. It is very nice and very reasonable pricewise. My room is just a standard double room.
I met my friend Ernest in the lobby in the afternoon and we went for a walk all the way up the street to the Alte Opern Haus. There is an out door wine fest going on there so we walked through and then found a place to have a beer. We ate dinner at a place called Conrad's. Basic German food and service. We had two schnitzels and 2 beers and 2 cups of coffee and the bill was just under 40 euro.
After we walked over to Romer square and looked around and then returned. We were both very tired. Today we are off to the Museum Ufer.
