Frankfurt

After a great time in Munich, we were onto Frankfurt. Again, via high speed train. This was the last stop in our tour, and the departure city for our flight back to the States.

We spent time poking around the 'old city' of Frankfurt.

The architect-ure, again, is striking.


We also stopped into the Central Bank of the EU - essentially the European equivalent to the Federal Reserve.

There, you can view and buy money from all sorts of countries, those of which aren't found here in the U.S. Meaning, Iran, North Korea, and other fringe countries. These were fresh bills, straight from the mint of various countries. Non-circulated.

Quite amazing to see such things.


Our last meal out was a fantastic Turkish restaurant, called Doy-Doy, where the marinated lamb and chicken is cooked on swords. Wonderful rice pilaf and grilled pitas. The hummus was out of this world.

Truly, Frankfurt is a cultural city.
