12 June ’04, Saturday. We didn’t have any real “sightseeing” plans in mind for Frankfurt today but we were on the tram by 10:30 anyway. The weather was very nice but did give the feeling that it might not last throughout the day. As we walked out of the underground tram station we noticed right away the clouds looked threatening again. But our thoughts of the probable inclement weather was soon forgotten as we saw that we were once again right in the middle of another celebration of some sort. It turned out to be Corpus Cristie. Just about as far as you could see down the main street of Frankfurt was music, food, wine and beer gardens just waiting for the crowds to arrive. Well here we are !!!! The biggest problem we encountered was what to order….it really can be a problem you know. Enough about our gastronomical delights. The history of Frankfurt is deep with life and legends but as for the old structures of history past, almost all were totally destroyed in the bombings from World War II. Frankfurt has and still is being rebuilt. Of those buildings that were left untouched was The Dom (Cathedral). It is beautiful and it was wonderful that it survived. We were only able to glance inside because they were just getting ready to bring into the church those young people for their first communion. It didn’t take too long before the thunder and rain started. Although it wasn’t the down-pour we experienced yesterday, there was enough that it made you go into one store after another until you’d had enough and decided that it was time to grab the tram back to the van. Tomorrow…..East
