Frankfurt

Frankfurt was only an hour away from Heidelberg.  We had a nice trip on a train and there we were. This is the train station.  It was like an airport full of people with suitcases, shops, restaurants, many train lanes and people with different colors :o)
Nachita pushed the wheelchair around Frankfurt.  We never took a bus nor a tram. We were given a map and we headed to the "Main Tower".  Up on the 56th floor, which was  in about 30 seconds, we enjoyed the beautiful view of Frankfurt from above. It was breathtaking! 
The building was at the financial area surrounded by the Deutsche Bank, UBS, ABN Amro and all the companies I had to be in touch with when I worked as the foreign transaction operator assistant of a pension fund company in Chile. 
We proceeded to the Haupwache, the main shopping street. It was very elegant and  expensive. 
We run into a Jewish museum and we immediately went in, but we couldn't take the tour because there were stairs and I couldn't use the wheelchair there.  As we were told, It was the museum of Jewish people that lived there in the 1700s.
But then we arrived to the Römer, the town hall.  We were completely stunned. The place was absolutely astonishing.  I've seen that Platz in the Internet... but there I sat and cried.  The past months have been filled with emotions, so this wonderful place allowed me to open the key of my soul and shed some tears.
How could someone not be moved... The magic music of a very handsome guy playing the violin and a flute made this place even more fantastic... Mom, I wished you had been there with me, because I know how much you would have enjoyed it.
Before getting back to Heidelberg, we went to the European "monument of capitalism" :o) This day will stay in our hearts forever.
