Conclusion

Ok, we admit it, we fell off the track. We failed to conclude our trip and apologize for that, especially for those of you who were reading it religiously. I am going to attempt to recall as much as possible the events from the last few days of our trip. Here goes...

Frankfurt is great city, but we still love Berlin. We did some shopping and ate at new restaurants. The last day before we left, we had dinner at a typical German restaurant. Our waiter was Italian, from Calabria, and suggested an awesome meal for both of us to share. A sausage, potatoes and sauerkraut platter. What a feast! I think we had enough of sausages after that dinner, although we admit it was devilishly delicious! Of course, you cannot have a traditional German meal without Applewine.

With every city in Europe we visit, we try to locate the Jewish Quarters as well as the Jewish Museum. Frankfurt was the least Jew-friendly city, in terms of history. The cemetery was not well kept at all, broken stones piled up in spots and weeds growing everywhere. It is a sad state but we glad to know that it was at least preserved. On the wall that encloses the cemetery (which is under lock and key), are small rectangular metal blocks with names, dates and places engraved in them. Those are of individuals who were sent to the various concentration camps all over Europe. What a touching memorial.

All in all, this year's Europe trip was amazing! We saw a lot of places, learned a lot things, and ate a lot of food. Food and culture will forever be in our hearts wherever we travel.

..and, oh, somewhere during our trip, in Venice, we got engaged! You'll have to visit our E-Wedding site to checkout the details. www.ewedding.com Search for either of our names.

Until next time...
