We finally made to Germany after the insanity and inefficiency at the JFK airport. I do not know what was worse......the check in process at the counter or the boarding process at the gate. Too much for me to handle. I thought Lufhansa would be a lot more efficient than it was. At least it all worked out and we
are now in Germany. The plane arrived in Frankfurt about 1/2 hour early and we had no problem finding the BahnHof station at the airport. We were taking the train to Bonn to meet Peter, who I had not seen in over 24 years!! The ride on the ICE (high speed) train was very smooth and we arrived in Bonn before 1 PM. Just as we expected, Peter was waiting for us at the train station and he took us on a
leisurely ride through the Rhine Valley to his home in Holzem, just outside of Rheinbach (approximately 20 miles from Bonn). After chattting a bit with Peter and having a wonderful German beer we took a rather long hike through the area to see the famous Radio Telescope. Once we arrived back at Pe
ter's home, his son Bastian had come to visit. Peter and Bastian prepared a nice barbecue dinner, and we all relaxed while Peter and I had a few more beers and a little schnaps..........great to be back in Germany again after 24 years.
