Day 8: Frankfurt food and drink

Well, I continued my tradition of eating local foods with a day full of overeating and tons of white food!!!

I had a jelly filled donut, tried an apple pastry, veal weiner schnitzel from the restaurant rated #1 on trip advisor, sour kraut, pretzels, salad, an amazing Apple streusel and lots of other unpictured items.  Diet here we come!!!

Day 8: Frankfurt flea market

This morning we stopped by a cafe for breakfast and then headed to the weekly flea market to search for treasures and product development inspiration.  I found lots of things unique to Germany and had fun treasure hunting.  I took lots of pictures, but did not make any purchases.  I really wanted the cute silver hedgehog below, but thought the 25 euros they wanted was too expensive and they would not barter!!

This man was selling bratwurst on the street from a "oven" he wore around his waste!!  A portable sausage maker...only in Frankfurt!!

Day 7: Frankfurt, Germany...food and drink

Today we had traditional German food for lunch and then went to a steak and tapas restaurant for dinner.

I had French onion soup (almost as good as in Paris) and sour kraut and sausage for lunch and a filet for dinner!  I have also been drinking Orancina soda....yum!!

Day 7: Frankfurt, Germany...sightseeing

Frankfurt is the largest city in Germany and is focused on banking. While there is not a ton of sightseeing things of interest, we did get to check out their small old town and it was super cute. We even ate at a traditional German restaurant!

Day 7: Frankfurt, Germany...ChristmasWorld

I am in Frankfurt for the worlds largest Christmas home and gift show.  There was a ton to see as we packed our day full of exploring and picture taking and then trying to make sense of everything g we saw.  There are some very interesting trends for Christmas decor and must do not involve the colors red and green!!

Love,

Mom

Day 6: Germany...arrival

I got to my hotel late Thursday night in Frankfurt.  I was tired and really just wanted to go home like the other 3 I traveled with.  The hotel here is very clean and modern, but not comfortable or cozy.  I miss London, but can't wait until I fly home Sunday!!

Love,

Mom

Day 6: London...final sightseeing

I snapped some last minute beautiful London shots.  I love the phone booths and double decker buses!  The refined and old details are just so cool!  We all definitely need to come back for a family vacation when Kate gets a little bit bigger!!  Maybe we will run into Princess Kate then!!

Love,

Kate

Day 6: London...food

Boy did I eat some good food in London!  We happened upon a Chef Gordon Ramsey restaurant where I had a fabulous cannelloni with ricotta and spinach and even had macaroons for dessert!

We spent dinner at the airport where I had some fancy ice cream!!

Goodbye London!

Love,

Mom
