Got in yesterday morning. I just slept for 15 hours. From 7 PM last night until 10 this morning. Man do I feel better.

I went all over Frankfurt yesterday. The downtown seems kind of . . . small? Still haven't checked out up by the university yet though.

The cathedral was definitely the highlight. That is one impressive cathedral. It was mostly built around 1240 AD I think. There is one particularly amusing painting with some tonsured monk groveling before a German prince in about 1150, then in the next panel it is about 1250 and the prince and a throng of other secular fellows are carrying another monk (with halo) on his shoulders, exactly as one would do to a quarterback after a football game. Christus Victor.

Yesterday, it wasn't until after I'd eaten that I found a nice Dönerkebab shop and the cheap indian food. I'll try those out today.

I tried a German cafe for the first and perhaps the last time. Tiny cups of bad coffee. Starbucks is everywhere though, with large paper cups of good coffee. In fact, I think I'll head there now.

Communication is occasionally a little bit tedious but not bad. Between their usually good english, my bad german, and hand gestures, we all have managed to make ourselves understood.
