Ray and Al and Weisbaden

     When Ray told me that he was coming to Germany this Fall, I knew that I had to meet him, hell or high water.  After some quick planning, we decided to meet at Al's the Friday before they both left for America.  It was my first trip to Weisbaden and it was a good time.  These pictures hardly do the weekend and drinking justice, but they are here for your enjoyment.


Fierce scrubbing
It starts here with the morning after.  Here Michelle, Allen's girlfriend, and Ray do the dishes.  It may appear that Ray is housebroken, but looks can be decieving.

The Raybeast
Here we see a very tired Ray-beast after a night of drinking and carousing.  Note: the creature manuveurs completely by a batlike radar sense.  It has forsaken sight.

Al and Michelle
Al and Michelle pose before running to the airport.  The disheveled appearance is not just a fashion statement for Allen, but appears to be connected to his way of life.

Ray on a train
The Rayborg has been released on the Frankfurt-Weisbadden express.  Many passengers were frightened away from this portion of the train/

A Column in Frankfurt
Walking through Franfurt, I happened upon a column and decided to photograph it.  Sadly, I haven't the slightest idea what it was for or even where I was.  Oh well.

Cathedral Tower
This is the tower of an impressive cathedral near the shopping district of Frankfurt.  Mass was being held so I couldn't get a photos of the inside.

Roman Ruins
This is the ruins of the Roman era church that originally stood near the location of the current church. The Frankfurters have turned it into an open air museum of sorts.

A Big Weiner
This is, well a Frankfurt in Frankfurt.  There is nothing I can realy add to the appearance of this food stand, except that everyone seemed to think it was normal.

Modern Statue
This was my attempt at an "art shot" during my walk.  This statue is just outside the metro and is a very characteristic peice of modern Frankfurt art.

Visit Mass
This was a really big laugh for me.  It's an American restaurant for starts. But also, by the door is a Visit Massachusetts promo. I just can't get away.

Sometime, I have to visit again and really get the full tour.
But for now, that's all folks.
