Frankfurt - Goodbye Volvo!

Today we will be turning in our Volvo XC90 in Frankfurt for shipment to the US.  Tonight we will enjoy the hospitality of Botho and Gisela Heinz one final time, and then arise very early on tomorrow May 10 to catch our flight back to the USA.

And so we did.  We are submitting this, our final posting, from home on May 11.  Our 23 hour, 5 leg trip home ended safely last night around 10:00. 

We found this office...


Parked our SUV one last time...



And marveled at what it had meant to have driven 3,861 miles around Europe in such luxury!


After turning in the Volvo for shipment back to Paul Moak Volvo in Jackson, we enjoyed some coffee and sweets outside Frankfurt's Central Train Station.


Steven Segal served Betty her little sweet.


Pre-war and post-war architecture, juxtaposed.


Frankfurt is Germany's only city with a planned skyline.


Occupy Wall Street was there.  Don't get me started.


Big Euro sign


This plaza was destroyed during the war and rebuilt as the original looked.

Love the German practice of outdoor dining!





Thanks for following us as we have had this amazing experience.  We hope you have enjoyed it with us.  We give all thanks and praise and glory to the One who created all we saw, and who holds it all in the palm of His hand.
