more of our trip......

We arrived in Frankfurt surprisingly well rested, or maybe it was my excitement.Our first job was to get money at the first atm we came too.( Oh, I forgot to tell you this was in January. Why'd we choose January? I honestly can't remember, except that it was a time I could go. So, we were dressed for winter.)They suggest you take out a big amount of money right when you get into the country, put some in different places and take out enough for each day that you have on your person.I had a small purse that I kept in front of me, it was big enough for a bottle of water, lipstick,and a granola bar and camera. I've tried the neck purse under my clothes, the one around my waste and I hate both of them. The purse works best for me and I hold it in front of me. I always travel off season not that there are no pickpockets but I don't think its as big a deal. So, after getting money, we had to find the train to take to our destination for the day which was the Mormon temple outside of Frankfurt. We finally found it with the help of some other Americans going to the same place. After we got there we walked through a village aways . It was early in the morning and I thought I'd try out my little bit of German. I said cheerfully to a gentleman walking towards us "guten morgan". He glared at me. OUch . No offense to the Germans but I didn't find them overly friendly, but, they might not have been in tourist mode in January. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. It was so exciting to see the temple.We stayed the night in their little dormitory and met some friendly people from France. So glad we took time to go.
Then off again on the train to one of the oldest, walled, cities in Germany.....
