We arrived safely at 7:40 a.m. in Frankfurt, where we were graciously greeted by our hosts, Stefan and Shibani. Today’s highlights for me:
1. Attending a high mass this morning at St. Bartholomew’s Cathedral in Frankfurt. Bartholomew’s Cathedral. It is the main church of Frankfurt. Ever since 1356, kings of the Holy Roman Empire were elected in this church.
2. Eating frankfurters in the town where they were invented
3. Watching Germany beat England for the World Cup in the streets of Frankfurt along with thousands of fans and consequently watching the celebration that followed..Locals were driving around the streets of Frankfurt honking their horns, waving their flags, and cheering for Deutschland!
4. Eating food typical to this region at the restaurant Apfelwein Wagner.
Prost!
Tomorrow we start early at the Deutsche Bank with a film and presentation by the Vice President of Marketing Services. We will also meet with the Women’s World Cup 2011 Organizing Committee and head to Shwerin tomorrow evening.
