My hotel for my overnight stay in Frankfurt the night before I fly out of Germany is now booked. I scored a pretty sweet room in the center of downtown next to the train station; shouldn't be a long ride from there to the airport via the train or a taxi.
It's funny; when I arrived in Tübingen last August it was really important to me that I arrive by train because that was so "European." I ended up taking the bus because it was faster and cheaper and less complicated. Mostly I was worried that I wouldn't be able to figure out how to get to Tübingen by train, and I really didn't want the extra stress of trying to figure that out after an 18-hour journey.
Now, at the end of my stay, I will be leaving Tübingen the way that I wanted to arrive: by train. I'll journey 3 hours north to Frankfurt, check into my hotel, and spend the remaining daylight hours that I have in Germany wandering around downtown and trying to soak up as much of Germany as I can before I leave again. It will be a very sad, very lonely afternoon, I'm sure, and will likely be spend mostly in a cafe somewhere. Or I could go American and find a Starbucks, which Frankfurt MUST have, being as big as it is.

btw - Love the new look
There's a starbucks not to far from the Alte Oper. I spent a few hours there one evening while waiting to get into the place where I was staying before my parents arrived in Frankfurt.
There's tons of Starbucks in Frankfurt. You won't be alone.
And, it'll be the last damn Coffee of the Week that you'll ever pay way too much for! (Well, not ever... but there will be lots of gunstigerer Kaffee in Arizona in the meantime!)
i spent my last day driving to the airport in the rain. in february. and it was depressing, and i wish i would have left Germany wtih better weather, but what are you going to do?
in the past year i have lived in three different places. i like the thrill of moving; especially the feeling of independence and the ensuing responsibility of being alone and fending for myself.
even though i currently don't have a job and i'm quickly on my way to becoming as poor as a church mouse, i'm so glad that i'm here in minneapolis.
when are you flying out, and when are you going to be in Frankfurt?
