Northern Exposure

"The world is a book and those who never travel only read one page."

[taken from my travel log, dated Feb. 28, 2010]

We leave for Finland tomorrow morning. Tonight, however, we take the late night trains all the way to Frankfurt...a city I'm only aquainted with because I sometimes have to fly out of there with Ryan Air. Currently, Chelsea and I are waiing for Mike at our favorite resturant/bar. Oddly enough, it's locatd in the bahnhof. Laugh if you must, but apart from it's deep wood tables, frosted glass windows and stained glass lights, this place is special to me for it's charming atmosphere. Here you'll find locals as well as out-of-towners, enjoying some good food or their favorite drinks while they wait for their train. Everyone from the dapper gentleman on a business trip to the local bohemian artist in the corner, you are bound to find something interesting. To me, it's the perfect place to people-watch.

Until next time, I shall say Ciao! And hopefully, Finland welcomes me! Unfortunatly, it'll have to welcome me with snow covered arms, but eh, that's part of it's charm, no?
