Frankfurt...Geneva...Frankfurt....Geneva

For the past two weeks I have been moving. I drove down to Geneva last weekend and stayed a hotel for the week of work. Last Sunday I drove up to the mtns. Can't wait for the winter!!! This past Friday I moved into my great place...see pics. More frequent updates to come (note: my BB was stolen this past weekend :-(

Back at work (it is 9:17 PM), but.....

...not to stoked after a great weekend. Met some more cool people and relaxed. Friday I went out to the Main river front area and had a few "cocktails." Watched the sun set and headed off for a walk around the waterfront were I found a great Turkish "donner" kebab boat. Hooked up with a kebab and a beer then off to East Frankfurt to go to a reccomended bar. This place was essentially a rooftop club with DJs and a great view. Did a little dancing a called is a night.

Saturday I slept in and then took a ride into the countryside. I went to a town called Smitten and then headed into Frankfurt to get some shopping in (this may be my last weekend here). Picked up a cool belt http://www.fenchurch.com/mens-detail.asp?cat=Accessories&pid=ACFELMM1100A and then headed back to my river front drinking hole. Read a little and then headed home.

Sunday was another relaxing day that included a little Germany/American breakfast with Weissbiere, Eggs, and Redbull, a ride into the countryside and then a little golf practice at a range in the middle of nowhere.

Not to sure on the plans but I think I am off to "Genf" next weekend, so thanx Frankfurt for the good times! -G

Another WC Weekend in Frankfurt

This past weekend was a blast. Played some golf at Homburg Golf Club, went into Franfurt to watch the 3rd place game Germany vs. Portugal in Frankfurt (Germany won 3-1), and essentially had a great time meeting people in the festive atmosphere. See pics!

Back in Frankfurt....and now a new apartment

Got back to DE on Monday and have been running ragged. I came back on the red-eye Sunday/Monday and have been extremely busy. I flew to Geneva for my second house hunting trip....oh I forgot... I lost the Rive apartment. When I was there I saw 8 more apartments. These options were more inline with what I needed. Smaller, better locations, overall better. Out of the eight, four were options. I decided on a great apartment in the Carouge section above a Cafe (close to what I pictured in my dreams) .... this place is very European and cozy. I think Carouge will be very much like Cambridge where my house was in the States. It was confirmed today and I look to move in around the end of the month.
