The Hop On Hop Off Bus

On Saturday we rode the train to downtown Frankfurt.  Several of us took what they call the "Hop On Hop Off Bus".  We have a new couple who work with us doing Self-Reliance.  They are Larry and Debra Loftus.  Elder Loftus has a fantastic camera and we will just tell you now - that he shares his pictures with us and of course they are very nice photos.  We love having Elder Loftus take pictures for us.

The double-decker bus does a loop around downtown Frankfurt.  It takes you to all the most important sights in the city.  St, Bartholomew's Cathedral, site of the election and coronation rites of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Financial District (Europe's most important banking center.  In addition there is the historic Old Town (Romer) .  There are several skyscrapers as well as the main train station (Hauptwache) which was the headquarter of the town militia in the 18th century; historic Old Town, its famous City Hall.  The trip also included some of the places we had already seen - Eiserner Steg (the foot bridge with all the locks), the Dom (cathedral) 

Enjoy the pictures.  By the way it was raining.
