View across the Main river (which cuts through the city).
Some contrasts of 'old' and new construction. About 80% of the city was destroyed during WWII by Allied bombs. Why aren't the Germans angry at us (US)? Have they really gotten over it?
The Frankfurter Dom (the main cathedral) - it was very nice. And, interestingly, the different sections were built in different eras, which makes it seem a bit like a hodgepodge inside.
Our train trip back was about twice as long (a total of 8.5 hours), but a third as cheap as the way to Frankfurt - we took 4 different regional trains (changing in small towns) and got to see some lovely rolling hills, forests, local citizens, fields, decrepit buildings, rivers, loud college-aged cellphone users, and...a rainbow! It wasn't as bad as we thought it would be. The Germans trains are actually always on time.
