So, over the course of a day, I've determined that Frankfurt is a very modern city without much for tourists. But that's ok, I came because it was cheap and was on a direct route to Paris tomorrow. However, there is still stuff to do here.
There is a river running through the city, the Main River, hence the full name Frankfurt am Main. It's a very nice river, with the city sprawling around it. Frankfurt seems to be a city founded on finance as well. There are a ton of skyscrapers here, and all seem to be owned by a bank of some sort. The tallest is owned by Commerzbank and 6 of the 10 skyscrapers are owned by banks (Wikipedia). With more time, I would have investigated going to the top for the views on a couple.
The big historical attraction is the Romer, which is the Frankfurt City Hall among other things. It is built in the stereotypical German architecture with all the wood beams. It reminded me of the German part of Fiesta Texas.
I think I actually got everything done today I needed to. I got the phone working again. I washed my already sweated through clothes again. And booked my ticket to Paris.
I need to drink more wheat beers because those do fill me up quicker. And they don't taste bad either.
Kaufman out.
