| You never know what you're going to find in a strangers home... |
 |
| Brian, our WarmShowers host, loads the bikes onto the back of his car. We're headed to Performance Cycles to pack up our bikes boxes. The store opens at 10AM, the van cab picks us up at 10:45AM. Timing is tight!! |
 |
| The Performance Cycles parking lot. Let the chaos begin!! Thankfully there was coffee. Front wheels and racks had to come off to fit it all in. |
 |
| Hurray!! It was touch and go, but the bikes made it in the box. |
 |
| Wheeling the boxes into SEATAC. |
 |
| Our airplane, loading up. The bikes made it aboard, and so did we! |
 |
| The chaos ensues on the other side. |
 |
| One hour later and things are looking much better. |
 |
| We cycling from Frankfurt airport to our Hostel, Hotel Meininger. Thankfully, there are lots of bike paths, in fact, too many. We caught our first glimpses on The Rhine. |
 |
| Hotel Meininger, the epitome of German functional design? |
 |
| This is the look of a jet-lagged Madalene. We fell asleep quickly after getting all of our bags into the room. A couple hours later we emerged to find food. We discovered a grocery store, including yogurt and muesli. |
 |
| Frankfurt Sunset. There is a lot of construction in this city. A merger of old and new. The area around our hotel reminds me of the Olympic Village about a year before the Olympics arrived. |
