it never ceases to amaze me, every time I come back, there is more and more building going on. The airport is just massive now! So many immigrants and refugees. The sad part about Frankfurt it has become the most "Americanized" town in Europe. It is very money oriented because of all the banks that do business here and because of being the center of the European Banking system.
Still all that said, I went for a walk in my old neighborhood, near the main railroad station and told my wife of memories of when me and a pack of other young teenagers used roam the neighborhood, used to make pests of ourselves at the main railroad station and also would go sneak kin swims in the river.
Listening to the Cathedral bells brought back so many memories. Tomorrow evening we will be attending midnight Christmas Mass at the Cathedral.

Thank you for sharing your experience!
