Arrived in Frankfurt

I arrived safely last night in Frankfurt. After a 10 hour flight it was so nice to be picked up at the airport by one of the other new teachers. She and her boyfriend then drove me into Frankfurt, stopping for a bite to eat before dropping me off at the hotel. We even drove past the stadium where the FIFA Women's World Cup final was to be played later in the evening. There were lots of people and cars all heading to the game.

Later in the evening I met up with two of the other teachers coming from Canada. I didn't get to see much of Frankfurt as we just walked the short distance from our hotel to Berger Str. for another bite to eat. After meeting these people I am so excited to meet all the other teachers at the school! So far everyone has been so nice and helpful: one of the Canadians even already knew a good place to buy a cheap bike! 

The hotel I am staying at is in a nice area of Frankfurt, just north-east of the main downtown area. Hopefully today some of us will take a bit of a walking tour of the area and downtown today. The hotel is nice and quiet. Most importantly it has everything I need: a bed, shower and free internet! Unfortunately the breakfast is 8 Euro a day, so after today I have to fend for myself.

And now, it is 6 am, I'm wide awake and have nothing to do until 9 am when I am meeting someone for breakfast. I've been up since about 4:30 - so annoying because I'm tired and know I will be exhausted later in the day. I may just go for a bit of a walk this early morning...
