It’s always fun to see how a City comes to life and lights up at night.
Beautiful display at the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof train station.
I love when classic architecture gets a facelift with lighting to bring it to life.

Part of the fun of traveling abroad and letting yourself explore past the major tourist attractions is turning a corner and finding little gems like this. Go out…. explore… find the hidden treasures!

After my first day of walking all over Frankfurt, I came back to the hotel,
took a much deserved nap, and then got back up and decided to go for a run.

I got all ready to go and started jogging…
only to find that I was stopping far too often to see the views & take more pictures…
so it really didn’t count as a RUN!!! More like a quick paced walk with a LOT of stops…
much of it the same route as earlier, plus a great old church and a cool bridge
covered with old padlocks!!!

So here’s part of the riverside running path I want to jog on…
as you can see I’m above it taking pictures… and NOT RUNNING!!!   Ha!!!

Our hotel was just a couple blocks from the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof Train Station. A pretty cool place with lots of trains, railroad tracks, shops and open air food markets… also a pretty “cool” place as it is all open air!!! No heat, but “plenty” of fresh air & pigeons!

Everywhere you look there is something beautiful to see
n a cool old city like Frankfurt am Main.

After landing in Frankfurt am Main, Germany last week, I was well-rested from my flying-nap on the plane… so I set off to see some of the city. Strolling through town, across the River Main and towards museum row. Loving the older architecture already… like this old “castle” built in 1886 which is actually a sculpture museum!

When playing downtown, I’m always reminded…
some may call it Macy’s, but it will always be MARSHALL FIELDS to me!!!

Always impressed by the over-the-top beauty & craftsmanship of The Cadillac Palace Theater. It never ceases to amaze me how they used to build these magnificent buildings… and that somehow a few of them have been saved & restored to their original beauty!

I know it’s been “awhile” since I’ve been in school, but I went to my niece Taylor’s junior high school musical last night… and was oddly transfixed by these little goodies on the wall. Groovy industrial retro vibe!!!
