We finished school the end of May and stopped in Germany for a few days on our way home for Rest & Relaxation.
We went walking along the Main River. This is looking back at the old center of town with the typical cathedral looming over it.
We took the S-Bahn up to Wiesbaden for the day. This is the Saturday market. We didn't buy anything since we were travelling home and staying in a hotel.
June is the month for weddings in Germany and just about everywhere else. We sat on the steps and watched one bride go in while her wedding party had to wait and party outside. The office is in the city hall and doesn't have room for anyone but the bride, groom and witnesses. The happy couple came out exactly 30 minutes after they walked in. We saw them checking their watches before going in. They must have had a precise appointment to get married!
This picture is of one of the Kleingaerten (little gardens) that we wandered through. This particular one is in a "garden union" that recently celebrated its 100th Anniversary. Some of these gardens have been in the same family for generations.
We also ate at the small restaurant at the Garden Union. Food was excellent!
We visited the Bible Museum in Frankfurt. We try to find different and unique museums like the Chocolate Museum in Barcelona, the Wine Museum in Lisbon and the Clock Museum in Vienna. The mainstream museums are nice, but not very original.
