First day in Europe! The flight from Vancouver to Frankfurt was smooth and uneventful--just like we like plane rides to be. Landed in Frankfurt with overcast skies. (Looked a lot like home.) Found our hotel (the Paris Hotel), settled in and rested, then explored a bit. Saw a series of scull races on the Main River. (This is Frankfurt am Main.) Had dinner at a nearby Japanese restaurant specializing in ramen noodle dishes. Very good! And no [other] tourists. Hope it continues to clear up and we avoid rain.
