We were struck by the trees in the plaza areas. All had been trimmed back to the main branches and new growth hadn't appeared as yet.
Another view of the plaza area
Kerali & Garth with many
interesting buildings behind them.
Janice & Garth in front of a monument.
Another scene from the plaza
We visited the history museum. These were replicas of the things used for the ruler/religious heads when they were put in power.
An area where one could try on the jacket loaded with weights to show how heavy the chain mail shirts that were worn were.
We convinced Garth to put it on and pose for us.
A replica of Frankfurt before the wars and the terrible destruction that took place. I didn't get a picture of the aftermath from the war but it was heartbreaking.

We are standing on the bridge of the Main River.
Those shiny things on the metal works of the bridge are "Love Locks" - padlocks with names and dates of sweethearts are put on and the only way to get them off is to cut them off.
Another view of us and the river.
One of the highlights of the day was our visit to the Goethe House.
This is a picture of the kitchen and Garth is pointing to a pump used to bring water in the house.
We were impressed by the lovely, wide stairs that led to each landing. Another interesting thing was that each room had its own stove that was put in such a way so that a servant could build the fire and fuel it from out in the landing.
Scenes from and rooms in the house.
As you can see, we like these old clocks.
And talk about clocks - This one really is a work of art, as is our beautiful daughter, Kerali
And we just had to pose with a piece of the wall that had separated East and West Berlin.
