In Frankfurt

I have arrived in Frankfurt, Germany, an event which marks the
beginning of Tokara's Europe Tour.
For the first two weeks, I am here in Germany for six non-consecutive
days of workshops here in Frankfurt and next weekend in Essen. I'm
already dreading that I forgot to bring my camera...there were some
great pictures that I could have taken. Like a dish that I had just
after getting off the flight called 'Handkäse'. It actually looks
like simmered Daikon, but the taste is quite strong for a first bite.
Mixed with diced onions, though, it is very nice.
While I'm on the topic of food, I just had breakfast at the hotel at
which I'm staying. Simple, yet divine. As I remember from my travels
to Germany in 1994, the bread here is second to none. In all the
countries I have been to, none comes close to producing bread like
this.
Well, I won't spend too much time writing when I can use this time for
exploring. First workshop tonight just down the road...looking
forward to it.

Here is a picture that I took with my computer. The view from my hotel.
