Skip the Frankfurter!

First stop on the final leg of the tour: Frankfurt! What is in Frankfurt: Nothing! So the full day I had there, I grabbed a train to Boppard, then took a ferry (compliments: Eurail) to Mainz. Beautiful countryside, castles and villages along the Rhine. Spent the day with two guys from California. The next day, moved on to Antwerp. While trying to make a train connection in Brussels, a lady in front of me on the escalator fell over backwards, and I attempted to catch her. Hard to do with a huge backpack on. But I slowed her down until we arrived at the bottom of the escalator. Escalator. So we were still moving up. I continued to try and steady her and finally got her to stop moving until someone finally hit the button to stop the escalator. Then a local Belgian and I got her the rest of the way up. Her foot was cut up bad, so we got it bandaged, and she missed her train to a town about 30 minutes away, so the local and I carried her bags and escorted her to her destination, to the car that her cousin had to pick her up. Then I continued on to Antwerp. Super cool hostel here, met a girl from Cali and a dude from D.C. Went to a free showing downtown of House of Flying Daggers. It was shown in the middle of a parking lot, with tons of sand brought in to make a fake beach. Really awesome. The movie was in Chinese, with subtitles in Dutch and French. We left at intermission. Today we day tripped to Brussels. It was cool. We played the classic tourists. Standard pics. Oh yeah, today's photo is from the Rhine ferry. It is Cyclops from the X-Men telling you not to enter the control room (Yes, Rostock crew, I am STILL plqying the "misinterpret the sign" game. Endless fun). That's it for now! Later all!

I will not go quietly into the night...
