Frankfurt

So last night I fell asleep like 6 maybe seven and I slept 12 hours round to 6 or seven in the morning. We had breakfast at the hostel which served a buffet style breakfast with fruit, meat, cheese, cereal, and drinks. The breakfast was actually better then I expected and after wards we went to a museum about the Jews that lived in Frankfurt, from the middle ages through the present with most of the stuff concentrated in the 1800-1900. It was pretty cool, they had lots of old documents, a couple Torahs and a ton of old menorahs including the place they came from, what they were made of and how old they were. The whole museum was in German so we had to read these booklets that had anywhere from a room to five rooms of information filling them and then we would go through the exhibit and see the pictures and what not. After that we went back and grabbed our bags we left at the hostel and went and got a train to Düsseldorf along with some sandwiches for lunch. After the train we arrived at carolyns(my aunt) friend's home where we were greeted by her son. After meeting with the son we went out to a nearby cafe and had coffee and Ice cream, I had an ice cream that was vanilla Ice cream with whipped cream and butterscotch topping with butterscotch pieces and maraschino cherries. After the ice cream we went back to the house and got a tour of the house and got to meet carolyns friend and we sat down and had a nice chat.
