Lauren was cute and started pedaling harder shouting the whole way, "Parkers Never Quit".

Each block had a name, dates, and concentration camp. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjERnscJ4ll2dy7-GpBTPBKFxLjyFdQgTWzg3DW4Wrbbmxv9foCXqcwoO3T4a6hUtNntUa254-yoz-MM25jV5ZAbLEbsYeIVFuGyt6FSyByBB5_yreaG-CoiQOO3jKQB9IAR4EW3kK6ZmGf/s1600/Lauren+and+Dad+Frankfurt+2011_17+%255BDesktop+Resolution%255D.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655999334621781026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjERnscJ4ll2dy7-GpBTPBKFxLjyFdQgTWzg3DW4Wrbbmxv9foCXqcwoO3T4a6hUtNntUa254-yoz-MM25jV5ZAbLEbsYeIVFuGyt6FSyByBB5_yreaG-CoiQOO3jKQB9IAR4EW3kK6ZmGf/s400/Lauren+and+Dad+Frankfurt+2011_17+%255BDesktop+Resolution%255D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />It was staggering to see the tragic loss that was suffered.

Lauren and I decided to check it out. They had relocated a large amount of Jewish buildings that were excavated when they were found during a construction project. There was a large exhibit about the Milkwe. The Milkwe is a bath were women undergo a ceremonial cleansing before getting married. It was a nice museum and interesting.

There is a beautiful square with some amazing half-timber buildings. We went inside of the cathedral and there was beautiful organ music being played.

We saw a cruise boat and Lauren really wanted to go on it. It was either a 50 minute or 100 minute boat ride. Lauren wanted the 100 minute one. I thought it might be a bit long but we decided to give it a go. We cruised along the Main River learning about Frankfurt. The tour was in German/English. We had a great time.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQslCiKZOfcAfoTVDYP5Jwue3LuOUO9uc7dBchsGY5XJpLeqTisWlX7PoFOwxVd135kHw9tSgfgBuMsDg8sruHyRHmyfKidOjHBbahe9Vx3Tl2Z56awY01K3WF63jUjk8pv9grTcpXq5zC/s1600/Lauren+and+Dad+Frankfurt+2011_80+%255BDesktop+Resolution%255D.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655998128401278722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQslCiKZOfcAfoTVDYP5Jwue3LuOUO9uc7dBchsGY5XJpLeqTisWlX7PoFOwxVd135kHw9tSgfgBuMsDg8sruHyRHmyfKidOjHBbahe9Vx3Tl2Z56awY01K3WF63jUjk8pv9grTcpXq5zC/s400/Lauren+and+Dad+Frankfurt+2011_80+%255BDesktop+Resolution%255D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We got hungry and ate on the boat. The food was pretty good. We rode home the next morning. It was about 24 miles home and we did it in about 2.5 hours. We got turned around at one point as the route along the river is not always user friendly. This is especially true as one is approaching Raunheim on the South side of the Main river. It is near the Airport and an industrial area. We were riding by some factories and ran into a man made port where they have giant gas tanks. I think it is a fuel reserve for the airport. That cost us an extra 30 minutes as we had to backtrack and find a new route.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>We had a great time and Lauren is pretty tough and a great stoker (person on the rear of the tandem. The person on the front is called the captain).<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11772739102241015127noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002835031342405639.post-20725315235295844302011-09-20T12:55:00.000-07:002011-09-20T13:44:59.853-07:00Frankfurt Auto Show 2011We hit the Frankfurt Auto Show.

Kaden found a flyer at the foodcourt that talked about the market. We looked it up online and there are tours centered around this market. We decided it looked like fun. At first we thought it was 3 hours away. Then we realized that there is a different Ronnestadt. We adjusted the Ronnestadt in Hesse near Hanau. We realized it was only 45 minutes away and it made it much easier to attend.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4048/4452238626_04e5b501e3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 333px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 500px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4048/4452238626_04e5b501e3.jpg" /></a> The castle is quite impressive by itself. It has a large tower that is accessible. It has a well that is 100 meters deep. You could pay 20 euro cents and it turned on lights and you could look down the well. It was insane. It looked like something out of the movies because it was so deep. These women were singing by it and taking advantage of the acoustics.<br /><br /><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"> <param name="flashvars" value="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=0a96ed112d&photo_id=4453010555"></param> <param name="movie" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377"></param> <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" bgcolor="#000000" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=0a96ed112d&photo_id=4453010555" height="300" width="400"></embed></object><br /><br />We gave the kids each a euro allowance to do what they wanted.

He played the part of the king. Initially the narator(person on the left) tried to get me to say some parts in German. He gave up on that when he learned the extent of my German. This is a picture of him speaking to me in German and I have no idea what he is saying.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2763/4452279768_44afe443cc.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 345px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 500px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2763/4452279768_44afe443cc.jpg" /></a> We rounded the corner and we heard this drum beating.

This ensued a passion for fondue and a venue for getting all of our friends together. We usually have 10-12 pot going, wear our favorite '70's attire, and stuff ourselves silly.<br /><br />Pictured above is several of our good friends from Rockwall plus my cute brother David and sis-in-law Kabree who were visiting from Amarillo. I"m feeling another party coming on.....<br /><br /><div><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4054/4473324505_f06ebe84f4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 500px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4054/4473324505_f06ebe84f4.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4054/4474106348_8de52b5cbd.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 500px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4054/4474106348_8de52b5cbd.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2680/4473335197_753f28b3a4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 500px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2680/4473335197_753f28b3a4.jpg" /></a><br />Wanna try my Pesto Swiss Cheese recipe?

We did a six mile trip through some trails by our house. A "train" this long draws some attention with the Germans. We were riding past one older German Man and he waved us over. He said he wanted a picture but that he didn't have a camera. I replied " Ich habe eine Kamera". He gladly took a took a photo for us. He wanted a copy of the photo so I asked if he had an email address. He relplied that he did. He couldn't find a pen. He asked several people passing by if they had a pen. There was no pen to be found. So Kaden had an idea that he could write his email in the dirt. He wrote his email in the dirt and I took a picture of the address. I sent him the picture that night. </p><p>Riding was a blast. At first it was difficult keeping my balance with the loaded panniers on the front fork. After a minute, I got the hang of it and it became much easier. Riding on flat parts isn't too bad but if there is any type of a hill I rally my little engines behind me to help out. They are cute and are eager to help out. Kaden has strong legs and is a good motor. It took Lauren a little while to figure out which way to turn the pedals. She figured it out and was a big help. Ava was good mannered for the whole trip. It was cold out that day and I was proud of how well the kids did.<br />As part of the training I wanted to eat out on the road. We loaded up some gear and food. We picked a spot not far from out house.</p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2693/4425004277_913cb62fe5.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 333px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2693/4425004277_913cb62fe5.jpg" /></a> We sat up a beach tent to act as a windbreaker. We stoked up the Coleman stove and had some grilled cheese sandwiches, pears, and juice. The kids had a blast and loved it.<br /><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4030/4425773848_55db7ebaa6.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 333px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4030/4425773848_55db7ebaa6.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4061/4425010133_170f1596c3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 333px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4061/4425010133_170f1596c3.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4424999197_b4ec269bb0.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 333px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4424999197_b4ec269bb0.jpg" /></a> Ava preferred to stand outside of the tent.<br /><div><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4066/4425777402_61c44dfa7f.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 333px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4066/4425777402_61c44dfa7f.jpg" /></a><br />As part of the training we decided to start getting used to sleeping in a tent. We put up the tent in the basement. Ava didn't care to sleep in the tent so She slept in her crib. Kaden, Lauren and I spent a couple of nights in the tent. It reminded me of an old joke: I have been camping for 25 years and I have never slept in a sleeping bag...but I sure have laid in a lot of them. The whole night I spent sliding off of the air mattress and trying to find my pillow. The next morning I ordered sleeping bags for Marnie and I that has a built in sleeve for the air mattress and pillow to prevent one from sliding off.<br /><br /><div><div><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4038/4425037133_36dd8b1b28.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 333px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4038/4425037133_36dd8b1b28.jpg" /></a><br />Lauren did great sleeping in the tent. We worked on controlling our volume. I explained to the kids many times that when you are camping in a campground if you are too loud they will kick you out. The first night was rough but they did much better the second night. It was some good training.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2781/4425031955_0e1b742a2d.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 333px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2781/4425031955_0e1b742a2d.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Kaden did well. He has a mild case of steamroller-itis. I would put Kaden clear on the other side of the tent. In the middle of the night Kaden was laying across Lauren's sleeping bag with his head pushing into my side. I helped him back to his side of the tent and after that He did fine.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11772739102241015127noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002835031342405639.post-38093956050850870472010-02-17T13:26:00.001-08:002010-02-17T14:09:39.325-08:00Faschnacht Parade in Mainz on RosenmontagFasching is a celebration each year that originated in a way to "scare away" winter.

They also would play tricks with you. One guy had a little contraption that had two boxing gloves on it. He would squeeze two parts of the thing and then the boxing gloves would shoot 10 feet out in the air towards a person. They were hitting people with the boxing gloves. It was crazy.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpGz3EwPbEW6D1IVhpzAgANgS-8MqAOgKrMtcjDk3aBzVgUIisQq3OQQdCcYgDHKYS-oNkKqJB7E0YtzsgVxkkAKSn-6T2Q27rKNDU5umM_cGDKncx1cOQ8g3QEvV8Kj4H3XRWoLqLC7Lc/s1600-h/Fasching+2010+11+%5B640x480%5D.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439331126788677282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpGz3EwPbEW6D1IVhpzAgANgS-8MqAOgKrMtcjDk3aBzVgUIisQq3OQQdCcYgDHKYS-oNkKqJB7E0YtzsgVxkkAKSn-6T2Q27rKNDU5umM_cGDKncx1cOQ8g3QEvV8Kj4H3XRWoLqLC7Lc/s320/Fasching+2010+11+%5B640x480%5D.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir4E6x2x76wgf1intu1nv-2lakIF98PQQbBMCw4MvzKH02BD7IPSpJXRHApLDRw9Okyz-ILjkEgAclx2LLSpmAQJjSvJwnwLDS-cerP-KFzYn2Ink1pIFriMABt2Et5FNVk968XPPT5iX8/s1600-h/Fasching+2010+4_6+%5B640x480%5D.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439331123716914194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 230px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir4E6x2x76wgf1intu1nv-2lakIF98PQQbBMCw4MvzKH02BD7IPSpJXRHApLDRw9Okyz-ILjkEgAclx2LLSpmAQJjSvJwnwLDS-cerP-KFzYn2Ink1pIFriMABt2Et5FNVk968XPPT5iX8/s320/Fasching+2010+4_6+%5B640x480%5D.JPG" border="0" /></a> Weird.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuNmMmnDRroaEZxBcxNLqyA3mqG3NDcUWxNKVtgVlDYTLnJ5O6YpMDdd8K_9x6ZSvE87hMbMsga_YSeVWK15kLML70T2gQnzZYRSlcs3YefZ3ZkSikOpl2XT97z8sSflFRhp-Nv4-TpWJF/s1600-h/Fasching+2010+5+%5B640x480%5D.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439328677571514370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 216px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuNmMmnDRroaEZxBcxNLqyA3mqG3NDcUWxNKVtgVlDYTLnJ5O6YpMDdd8K_9x6ZSvE87hMbMsga_YSeVWK15kLML70T2gQnzZYRSlcs3YefZ3ZkSikOpl2XT97z8sSflFRhp-Nv4-TpWJF/s320/Fasching+2010+5+%5B640x480%5D.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />This picture gives one the scope of how many people were here and how crowded this thing was.
