Lars and Esther

My first city in Germany is Frankfurt, which I have been for the last 2 days. There is nothing better than getting to a new city, and knowing people that live there. Lars and Esther are both professors from the U or Oregon, and have really made my trip to Frankfurt special. Esther arranged for me to sleep at her architecture office (for free!) which is located in an ideal spot to catch the tram to downtown Frankfurt. Lars showed me around his firm, and took me to a very swank dinner/club with his girlfriend who is also in town. We have been able to sit and enjoy coffee and tea together, and have a very nice visit. I happened to also luck out and be in Frankfurt as they were having a museum fair, and was able to go into all of the museums here for only four euro in total. Tomorrow I leave for Berlin...but after such a nice introduction to Germany, I am very ready for the challenge!
