June 9: Last Day in Germany

I drove back to Frankfurt instead of searching for another town.  Actually, the ladies I met in Breisach explained that Herzothum is the name of the town where the duke lived.  This means, I have no clue what is the actual name of the town now.  So, back to Frankfurt.  I made it to what I think is the center of the city.  There's a choir expo happening.  I think it was busier than normal because of that.  I did get to see the city's main cathedral and hear a choir sing while inside.  It was beautiful.  I spent the time walking about the food market and enjoying a bratwurst . . . finally!  For lunch I had Viennas-style schnitzel . . . so not the official German Schnitzel, but schnitzel, nonetheless.

I'm hoping that tonight I'll enjoy spatzle (egg yolk noodles).  We'll see what I can find.  Tonight will be relaxing and getting ready for flying!  My luggage is on its last leg.  It served me well even though it is only a year old.  However, let's examine it's life.  It's first journey was a 3-week journey through Vietnam where we stayed in 7 different hotels.  It then took a flight to Bangkok and then made its way back to Detroit.  I used it for the policy class trip to DC.  I also used it for my trip to St. Charles, MO in September.  It then traveled to Florida and now this trip.  On this trip, its been to 7 hotels (8 visits, though). It was pulled, while running, through the Venice train station.  Oh, I think it also went to Louisville, TN for the ACPA conversation . . . can't remember.  So, did it serve me well?
