A Walk Down Frankfurter Straße

I am so incredibly thankful to have had the opportunity to live abroad as a child.  Twice.  The second time around, we lived in Oberursel, a suburb of Frankfurt am Main in the State of Hessen (in Germany of course!).  I attended an international school and truly met the most incredible friends.  Not only have we all gone our separate ways as far as university, but we are from all over and we still manage to meet up for "reunions." One of my best friends, Claire, is studying for the semester in Copenhagen.  Instead of her trying to come to Vienna or me trying to come to Copenhagen, we decided we would meet in Frankfurt and take a walk down memory lane! (We didn't actually take a walk down Frankfurter Straße, I just liked the play on words!)

Claire and I met in Frankfurt on a Thursday and literally ate our way through Frankfurt and our respective "home towns" until Sunday morning when we flew back to Vienna and Copenhagen.  We had SO much fun catching up and shopping.  Its amazing that after not seeing someone for almost two years how we were able to just pick up where we left off and it was like no time had passed at all.  We ate at our favorite restaurants, found an amazing Mexican restaurant and on Saturday morning we went to Oberursel and went back to Frankfurt International School.  The gate was surprisingly open, and we were able to walk through the grounds again and found our lockers, silly things like that.  It was amazing to see how the school had changed and updated, but that our favorite places were still there. It made us miss the rest of our friends, and we want to do a REAL Reunion in Frankfurt one of these days.

It was a perfect weekend. I was so happy to have seen Claire and I cannot wait to have a group reunion at my house again in July.

In Frankfurt on our first full day.

Enough Said.  It was great to be back!
