Going my Way?
New in town? Don't know how to make new friends? Just do as we did, buy a group train ticket to go to town and share it with total strangers. It's true - we went to Frankfurt on Saturday to buy books and instead of buying two single tickets for a total of 7,20 Euros each, we bought a group ticket for the day for 13,80 Euros, saving us 60 cents.
We saw a woman and her son approach the ticket machine, asked her if she was traveling to Frankfurt and invited her to share our ticket, since it is valid for 5 people. We enjoyed a nice chat on the train . It felt nice to do something good for her because she is a single mom of two kids.
Frankfurt had turned into a party town for the weekend as it celebrated Christopher Street Day and the Opernplatz, or square in front of the old opera building, was celebrating Opernspiele ( in German). For the Opernspiele, they had all kinds of games and entertainment for families and we had fun watching the kids sitting in plastic bins and rolling down a long conveyer belt-type ramp.
Just before returning to Oberursel, we enjoyed a couple of beers in a cafe on the Opernplatz- B ate a real Frankfurter sausage with potato salad and drank a Czech dark beer (Krusovice) and I had the new grapefruit-flavored Schöffehofer Hefeweizen. We had just finished drinking our beers when it started to rain.
