Mainz, Germany

I went with Suds on one of his pairings to Frankfurt, Germany. We left at midnight and got in at 6am. Lucky me I got the crew seat in business!!

The crew stays in a town about 45 minutes from the airport called Mainz (MINEz) in the Hyatt on the river Rhine. We slept for a couple hours then headed out into the town.






It was market day in the city.
There were stalls and stalls of fresh veggies, fruits, noodles, cheese, breads, and preserves. We bought one of these huge pickels!

Every stall had strawberries and white asparagus! I have always thought of white asparagus as special but it was EVERYWHERE here! We went out for dinner and they had a whole section of the menu headed under Asparagus.























There are a couple of church's in the city. They have little entrance ways inside the main doors that are all glassed in. It's cool cause you can look in and take a picture without disturbing the people inside!








We stumbled onto this church and out front were tables set with flowers, but no restaurant or wedding we could see! Later on in the night we walked past it again and people were sitting there eating.



We watched Germany play Ecuador on the big screen in an outdoor beer garden.
The German colours were everywhere!

Too bad we couldn't understand what people were saying. When the game started everyone stood up and we couldn't see a thing! Then it started to rain so we left and watched the rest of the game on a floating pub on the river.




Suds wanted to get my pic with these dressed up Holland fans. Well they sure surprised us!!! Must have of been drunk to kiss the photographers wife!





Here is the floating pub where we watched the rest of the game.
