The flight went well except I thought I would never feel my butt again.  The airport at Frankfurt is HUGE and we had to walk a great distance to go through customs and get our luggage but we managed.  We got our car at Hertz and took off.  We found a nice hotel in Frankfurt near the old town square.  We had a great dinner at Romer Pils Brunnen.  Tomorrow we will head for Trier.
