Every Sunday I go to the same starbucks near the old Stock Exchange and sit at the same table outside with the best view of the Bull and Bear statues. The tourists all flock here and do the same poses… They all grab the bull by the horns as they’re posing for pics, and if they have kids they put them on top of the bear.
Sometimes people are alone, and I have to admit I do like travelling that way…When I first came to Frankfurt I wandered the city alone. It’s a good way to travel…Open for anything, no commitments to be anywhere or keep anyone else happy. The only drawback is that you have to take pictures of sights, but you aren’t in them…unless you stick your arm out and take a funny picture of your head with the attraction behind you…I don’t see people do that much here…
here’s a link for a great Frankfurt gallery…http://www.pbase.com/ralf/frankfurt&page=all
Today is my mom’s birthday…ooops….I forgot….HI MOM!!!! Happy birthday. Hope it’s the best one ever!
Family is (Matt, Kat, Pops) are talking about hitting Prague soon. Not expensive to rent a car and go for the weekend. I’m excited for that.
Also might visiting London next month. Matt is going for a few days and if I go with we have a free place to stay.
So far I haven’t travelled much of anywhere…that’s a shame. In Europe and wasting my days…
Going to see a movie today…The Prestige…Should be good. I haven’t been to a movie lately…Sunday afternoon are a great time for a movie since noone’s ever at the cinema.
OK So I’m not sure I ever posted these links, but if you have a decent connection watch these you tube clips…This guy is one of my favourite things about Frankfurt. Bizarre random street performers….I know 4 of the 5 songs here, but can anyone please tell me what the second song is?

of course the clips don’t do him justice…it’s really the reaction of the people that walk by that aren’t paying attention and that moment that he screams and they stop their conversations and start laughing at him that make it all worthwhile…
A conversation from Friday night….(as told by Kat and Matt)
Joe (talking to random person at Irish): What do you do in Frankfurt?
Random Person: I’m a biology Student
Joe (turning back on biology student to talk to Kat): Quick!!! What do you know about Biology?
Kat (turns to Matt): What do we know about Biology?
Matt: …
Joe (Loud enough to make sure the whole bar hears me): SINGLE CELLED ORGANISMS!!!!
We made the official web page of our local pub…I’m pretty sure I could sue in the states. This is from New Years…I got called an ozzie…psshaawwww.
