Frankfurt... home and namesake of the hot dog

Well I have finally update this blog and it is 'bout time.

We I am just finishing up a +2 week European business trip and it all started in Frankfurt, Germany. Crisp, cool air and an abundance of beer, applewine and sausages to permanently preserve any living creature for an eternity... seriously!
The city is nice to view from an architectural view too... well at least from my untrained eye, but I like it!
From the traditional German village
And the newer plazas...

To the modern high risers.

Boy do they loved meat out here. After working all day in the office, the team (~12) headed out for some dinner and drinks. We headed to a traditional German restaurant, where our leader told the waiter to just bring out some food.

I saw this platter and thought, wow that is a lot of meat... that should feed all of use. Yeah then two more waiters came out with the same platters! Oh what succulent and flavorful pork, gammon and mixed sausages; they were awesome.
I was fortunate to be able to escape the city one day and headed south to Stuttgart, home of Porsche; my boss Darryl, was the one that suggested the idea to go to the brand new Porsche Museum. The history was cool but the display of cars was simply amazing. Everything from the cars you see today, the birth of the Beetle and down to fire trucks Ferdinand Porsche build in beginning of the 1900s.
Classic American Roadster!

...and the Iconic 911 Turbo

And I was not joking about the Fire Truck!
