Frankfurt: the real city of love

So turns out Frankfurt doesn't have much to do.

After watching Germany lose I went back to the hostel and pretty much fell asleep. Good thing I was so Tired, I only woke up s couple of times thinking there was an air raid going on. Turns out it was just really happy Spanish people. If that is what a night of partying sounds like for winning a soccer game while in the opposing teams country, I don't think I could have even handled it if Germany had won....

I woke up at like 6 am yesterday ready to go, and ended up spending the day exploring Frankfurt. Not too much to explore. My new friend and I passed by Germans drink wine from a wine stand on the street at like noon, and of course joined in. I wish I had a picture of the glass, they're not messing around with their pours, he filled the glass all the way to the top! We walked around the rest of the day, joined in at a little kid carnival (they had bouncy houses!) and took a paddle boat out on the water. Sidenote: swans are huge!!!

I had already decided earlier in the morning that I was going to push up my departure day and leave for Paris today instead of Saturday. So yesterday was my one and only full day in Frankfurt, which is perfect cause we pretty much saw everything. It was the perfect day to be outside, it was so sunny and warm!! Just like how Portland is when we actually have beautiful days. Around 4pm we stopped at a corner wine shop and grabbed a couple bottles of rose for the park. Finding a wine shop in franfurt is not hard by the way, they have them on every corner. And I really mean every corner. Everyone has to be drunk on wine all the time to sustain all those businesses. Right? Anyway, killing 4 bottles of wine in a park with cute American frat boy was a great, although very very hazy, ending to my one day in frankfurt.

Now I'm on to Paris!! My train leaves in 40 min and will put me in Paris at 1pm. This is the best vacation ever by the way. Ever.
