Frankfurt

Hello all, we have made it to Frankfurt. It has been an interesting trip so far. First both of our names were wrong on our tickets. I will now be referred to as Dr Rawait and Portia still has her maiden name on her passport. As I had Gonzo the lucky frog in my pocket everything worked out ok. On the plane, (9 hours and only 2 movies) a call came overhead for a doctor on board. An elderly gentleman was having chest pain. Luckily 3 other doctors were on board, one was internal med. I am proud of the fact that of the 5 doctors on the plane I was the only one with a stethascope. We have been laughed at by 2 or 3 Germans by now. First we were told to take the subway 5 stops in. After 3 we were sitting there when a rather nice German came on to our car and told us we were at the last stop. Never fear, we have arrived at the subway station we were aiming for. Not that I know what is here but we are trying. We stopped for coffee. Thought we were ordering mochas but instead got very hot coffee in a water glass with a little cream. I am not sure if that is what we ordered or if they were just making fun of us. We are now wandering aimlessly around Frankfurt. After 3 tries we found an internet cafe so Portia can print off her marriage license. Next we will look for a church and other old stuff. More later.
