Well I have finally left Los Angeles again after being there much longer than originally planned. Now we are in Frankfurt and have traveled around Germany just a little bit the past few days. Then we are on to India again.

I just wanted to share a few pictures that I have taken on this little trip in Germany. We arrived at Frankfurt airport then went to stay in Mainz, Germany for the night. With some of our frequent flier miles we had we got a suite at the Hilton in Mainz. It was very fun. But only for one night.

So since we had a car for a few days we drove to Cologne. We only stayed there for one night, but it was fun to see. It was snowing so much on the drive from Mainz to Cologne. We survived and made it there but the road conditions on the way there were terrible. Here is a picture I took on that drive. (Click on the pictures for a larger view)

Then once we got to Cologne it was night time. We walked around a little bit and saw this beautiful gate. I thought it looked so cool with the full moon right over it and the snow on the ground.

The next day like good tourists (that we are usually not) we went to the most famous place in Cologne. It was the Cologne Cathedral. I did not expect much of it and did not think I would be very impressed. But I was wrong. That place was HUGE! Just its size alone was awe inspiring. I really enjoyed seeing this beautiful place. It was worth going to see.

After seeing a little more of Cologne, we got back on the road to head back to Frankfurt. It was not snowing like the day before and the road conditions were MUCH better. The drive took less than half the time since the weather was so much better, and that was really nice.

I am sorry to say, but in my opinion Frankfurt is boring. There really is not much to see. But we did go to the old part of the city to see what there was….but it was not much, in my opinion. Here is a picture I took of the old city in Frankfurt.

Although Frankfurt has been pretty boring, I did enjoy this sight the first night we were there. At night it started snowing again, we were in the city center where there is a big pedestrian area with many malls and stores. In the distance one of the huge building was lit up so pretty in a green light. It just looked really magical with the snow falling and how everything was lit up.

It looked a lot cooler in person, but here is what I got with my camera.

Well hope you all enjoyed my few pictures from our quick trip to Germany. Off to India tomorrow. Hopefully I will get more pictures to share with all of you!
