Family Reunion in Frankfurt
i love the sleek and modern European designIt is usually a bummer to have a six-hour layover when you are flying somewhere. However, it's actually really nice when such a long layover allows you the opportunity to visit family you haven't seen in several years. On my way back from India i had a long stopover in Frankfurt, which was enough time for me to catch up with my cousin Charlie and his wife Oxanna. I haven't seen my cousin in at least five years, and it was the first time i was able to meet his lovely wife.
Charlie and i during our quick tour of FrankfurtCharlie is in the U.S. Air Force and has been stationed in Germany the past four years. He said i was the first in the family to visit him since he has lived there (making me the #1 cousin i think!). Since he and his wife live an hour away and don't make it to Frankfurt often, it was fun to check out the city center together.
Charlie says he loves the German milk.. now i know whyCharlie met his wife Oxanna about three years ago while she was studying in Germany. Originally from Russia, she speaks fluent english as well as german. We got some excellent coffee and a snack while catching up on the past couple of years. Despite the early hour (10:30 am), i really wanted to enjoy a fresh German beer while i was there. Lucky for us, we easily found a tavern that was open. Since we were limited on time, we ordered a few small beers that were delicious. A quick visit, but well worth it!
