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!

While I enjoyed walking & wandering through Frankfurt… I keep getting reminded that I would rather have MY BIKE!!! I could get further faster… crossing bridges, touring parks and seeing a LOT more if only I had my bike!!! Sadly, it wouldn’t fit in the overhead bin on the plane!

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!

And we’ve landed in a foreign land…
after a nearly eight-hour flight which made for a really great nap!!!

Finally flying over Chicago with a cold chill & snow all around.
Not quite sure what weather we’ll find on the other end?!

On the tarmac with fair skies and beautiful clouds. Looks like we might have a great flight.

Another beautiful art installation at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. A whole “wall” of windows with these great black papercut pictures representing Chicago landmarks. Always good to have something to admire while waiting for your flight.

And of course my favorite one…

Every time I travel through this beautiful tunnel hallway experience,
I get a happy feeling knowing I’m on my way to another great adventure…
so long Chicago, be back soon!!!

 

* Okay, so I’m home already… and feel it’s okay to now post photos!
