Made it to Europe



Hey everyone, thanks for keeping up with us. We haven't done much site seeing yet. Our plane ride was alright. It was a bit cramped and the inflight entertainment was all in German, so forget about watching movies. We were delayed in Vegas for almost an hour something to do with the wind pattern. I don't know, but finally we got off. After landing in Frankfurt, we had to buy our first train pass to get to a different part of the city to find our hotel. That was interesting. We stood around the machine trying to read the German and figure out what to do. We had two "helpful" people wanting to sell us their tickets. Well, we prayed about it and eventually we made it to the right station, reserved our train to Paris and then to Rome, and checked into our hotel (which is conveniently right across from the train station). We didn't get a lot of sleep on the plane (evidently on Condor air, everything is extra, alcohol, headsets, and no footies for the plane), so we took a little snooze. Now we are off to check out the city and get something to eat. Thanks for all of your prayers.

love,

Chris n Barbie

We did enjoy the flight, but if you were over 6 ft, you would not have fun on that plane. Food was good though´. We are looking forward to more great food here.
