Days 1 ,2 , and 3

The first 2 days I spent in the airport or in the air.  Continental lost my bags in Washington D.C. and made me late for my flight to Germany, so I spent the night in Newark, then spent the next day in the airport waiting to find out if I would be flying that day because of the volcano in Iceland.  I did leave on Sunday night at 7:30 and arrived in Frankfurt at 10:30 mondy morning.  I took the train to Aschaffenburg where I was stationed in the Army.  I met a nce older couple and had a gloss of my favorite wine at the Schloss Weinstube. They insisted on giving me 20 euros to help on my trip.  Then I met my friend Christine Hytha-Schmitt at the Bahnhof.  Although I hadn`t seen her in 23 years it was like we had seen each other yesterday.  She was working so I went to the Cafe Würst Bindel where I met a man who was clelbratinng his 81st birthday.  We had a beer and Dopplekorn (schnapps), and talked a while.  Then I went to meet Chris again at her work and came to her house where I met her children and had a great dinner.
On Tuesday Chris and I went to the schlosspark Schönbusch where we had a great walk around the park and a coffee.  We went shopping after then she went to work.  I spent the rest of the day visiting tzhe city and took a lot of photos.  Unfortunately her computer didn.t recogniz my disk so I will have to post them on the nex post.  We came back to her house where I met another old friend. Frank, and his wife.  I made spaghetti for the family and then posted this.  Until the next time Auf Weidersehn.
