Frankfurt

I think I made it.

beer.JPGHere I am, made it to Germany. I am currently wondering around a town which I think is Frankfurt. I jumped on the nearest train to the airport and was told by five different people different ways to get to downtown. The city is nice but not unlike any other large city such as downtown Orlando except for the fact that the buildings look like a big breasted women with a green hat and blonde hair and duck shoes (clogging shoes or whatever they are) could walk out any moment. The architectural side of it seems to be kind of Dutch influenced. The weather is beautiful!! I don’t think I have ever experienced weather this nice growing up in Florida. About 75 degrees sunny and not a cloud in the sky. I came upon the coolest place. An actual beer GARDEN. This place is a park with seats and benches under beautiful trees. Completely outside with what it seems to be a portable bar right in the middle. The place opens in about an hour so I am counting down to the time I call my uncle Chuck while having my first beer on this trip. My departure yesterday was not as I expected it to be. I had to jump on an earlier plane at the last minute so I could make my connecting flight in Washington which I made quite fine. After all the planning of this trip over the months seems to have paid off because I feel so relaxed and at ease right now in a country I have never been to. This might be the first place my best friend Nicholas will ever beet me to (he was here for world cup) well I miss everyone and look forward to hearing from you all. Sorry for the rambling on I am trying to get used to this blogging thing. twanis, nick

Hey Nick, I read your thread of 2ndlight.com; I don't normally post anything but I felt compelled to wish a great trip! What you are doing is something that so many people never get a chance to do or never take the time to do. Best of luck. Just some input, but don't read into this too much...San Fran is a fun city with lots to do and see. But I have been to Cali twice now, both times to San Fran to visit friends and each time I drove south to get MUCH better waves, warmer water, and a more surf orientated atmosphere. Santa Cruz is about 3-4hrs south of San Fran....great pointbreaks and its a really cool scene. But that's just my opinion. Have a great time...be safe man, I envy you. David
