One of the best things about living in the city is the Saturday Market. We live on MarktStrasse, so the market is just a minute walk away. We have visited other markets just to experience them and they are all very similar. The market in Frankfurt is larger, of course. All of the markets have fresh fruit and veggies from local farmers, Spain and Italy to name a few. They have fresh flowers, honig (honey), freshly baked breads, meats, cheese. Some of the markets have food and wine vendors and many of the locals will go to the market for lunch, relax and have a few glasses of wine. We usually get our fresh veggies here rather than the store because they seem fresher but that may just be our minds playing tricks from the experience of the market.
Sometimes, I can convince Ryan to go for a walk in the park or maybe a picnic!

Barcelona
It may have been worth it for the baked Camembert alone....

There were also several protests while we were there. Some more boisterous than others. One of the calmer protests was this communist flag waving occurring in a random square.
Luckily, we left when we did because while we were en-route to Frankfurt, the airports north of Frankfurt were closing due to the ash plume from the Iceland volcano. Shortly after we landed, Frankfurt was closed too. The trip wasn't all bad. We enjoyed the evenings together... it's always better when we're together!
