Frankfurt

 August 13, 2021

My parents dropped me off at the airport and my flight left at 11:30am! 



I had a 3 hour layover in Dallas and then boarded a 9 hour flight to Frankfurt! It felt like eternity, but I finally landed after sleeping for a couple minutes here and there while watching The Incredibles and Frozen.

After landing, I found Maxime in the airport and we were off to explore the city! 






breakfast lol

Frankfurt Cathedral







We decided to go to Palmengarten next, which was a long way from the heart of the city. It was well worth the walk and made me feel very at home. Who knew there were so many palm trees in Germany?!















After making it back to the main train station, we waited for an hour while trains kept getting delayed and/or cancelled. We finally made it to Manheim after the train we were on kept stopping for extended periods of time while my eyes kept closing. Maxime woke me up every time haha. After our train FINALLY made it to Manheim, we had to run downstairs, through a hallway, and then up another set of stairs...all while carrying everything I brought with me. (Maxime would probably want me to let you know that she carried my heavy suitcase the whole time, 50.6 lbs). Luckily, we made the next train just in time, then got off to take a tram and finally made it to our location in Heidelberg!

September 10, 2021 The day started out like any other...I drank about 6 cups of coffee. Just kidding, I actually did drink the 6 cups of coffee but that is not the norm for me. However, I was extremely productive haha. The explanation? Hostels in Frankfurt for tonight were too expensive, so Lauren and I decided to take a midnight train from Koblenz to Frankfurt for our 6 am flight. So we hopped on a bus to Koblenz. September 11, 2021 We got on our midnight train to Frankfurt (while on board may or may not have booked a flight and hostel for Milan), tried to find our way to the other terminal for a good 30 minutes, went through security, and sat at our gate for 3 hours. We got a pretzel for breakfast before boarding. Although we were at the front of the non-priority line, we were not aware of an entry form that had to be filled out for Greece and had to race against the clock to finish it before they closed the gate. Then we flew for 2 hours and 45 minutes to Athens!! And of course, lis...

October 6, 2021 *during a 3 hour lecture* Lauren: what are you doing from Sunday to Wednesday? Me: nothing Lauren: we should go somewhere Me: ok *an hour and a half later the flight gets booked* October 10, 2021 You know the drill, we took a bus to Koblenz, a train to the Cologne airport, and a plane to Warsaw. While in the Cologne airport, we stopped at the grocery store to get some pre-flight pretzel croissants and paired it with some ham that I had brought from home haha. Then we went to find our gate and quickly got through security. For the first time, we actually had a flight during the day!! Landing at 4pm?? Seeing the city and trying to figure out how to get from the airport to our hostel (bus, train, then 30 minute walk) in daylight?? That's a new concept for us!  On our way to the hostel we walked by the Palace of Culture and Science and were getting hungry so stopped in McDonald's to see the Polish menu and grab a quick snack. We got potatoes with cream sauce and a L...
