Frankfurt, day one

It was an early morning, leaving from Paris. I think we woke up at about 4. My flight was at 7 or so, and we were a good hours train ride to the airport since we were on the opposite side of the city.


Even the baguette-makers were awake


Me to Germany, her to US


Once I arrived at the Frankfurt airport, it took me a while to figure out the train system. I mean, the key? Flughafen = airport



The main train station, where I stayed about 3 blocks from. Easy to get back to the airport the next morning





Lunch #1


Lunch #2. I had to. This guy was a mobile rindswurst/bratwurst station.


It was cold - so I wen tot the mall to walk around and people watch





Then, it started to rain



By that time I was quite pooped, so it was tine to go back to the hotel and sleep. Long day of traveling back to India the following day. End of vacation, back to work :(

Paris, day three

In the morning, innocent enough. From the outside at least.


Then you have to walk down some shifty steps.


Past an evacuation plan


A quarry?


Not really. Exactly, at the end of the pics.

With flash.


Without flash.









Where we were? Read it..

Then, off to happier things. Or is it, more shady?


A simple wall


A walk up


To the top of it





Still at the top, another church


Where everyone hung out on the steps, amongst all of those people - a cover band



A museum... some, crazy




Then off to dinner. I stayed safe. Duck a la orange.


The girl? Decided she wanted something very French. Like, steak tartare. It was actually pretty good, though would much rather have an appetizer of it rather than an entire meal



Back, to the hotel


Another good day

Paris, day two

Off we went, via the train/subway



Breakfast. Some sort of delicious bread with delicious chocolate


and a baguette, of course.


From this place


Off past Rue de Rivoli to where Louis XIV got communion




Which was just a little ways over to the Notre Dame








We then sat for a little while, and people watched


What's pretty cool, is that it seems like there was always someone playing music. Even in the middle of a bridge.



Then, for lunch.. back to the best sandwich place. We almost didn't go, thinking it may not live up to the taste it had just the day before.



But, it did


After lunch, another Pantheon


Walking over to one of the coolest areas, we thought



Cheeeeseee


Fresh


Yummy


Dinner, a makeshift picnic.
