My final stop in Germany was Frankfurt. I went on day trips to the resort town of Baden-Baden, The Black Forest, and I took a cruise down the Rhine River. I am writing from the Frankfurt airport as I begin my journey home. I am looking forward to warmer weather and sharing my stories and adventures with my friends and family in person!

 The Black Forest shrouded in snow and mist. It's easy to understand how it inspired so many fantastical Grimm fairy tales
