not just another trip to the airport...

I love it when friends and family get to come in for a visit and are able to see this beautiful country.  Not to mention it's a nice change being able to see their faces rather than the occasional postcard.  But let's face it... long drives to and from the airport can be a bit of a drag.  So it was really exciting to finally visit Frankfurt, and drive right past the airport without stopping.  The city was a breath of fresh air, just what I needed.  Lots of big buildings... and oh man, the shopping... well I must say I was smitten.  Can't wait to go back and explore some more.  Until then, here's a few pics from my visit...
