On the ground in Frankfurt
by Reed on Apr.21, 2006, under Uncategorized
Well, we took our very brief tour of Frankfurt (which was of course half eaten up by learning to navigate the transit system here). It’s funny, all subways seem to work in similar fashion and yet when you throw in an unfamiliar language and an unfamiliar city it makes for slow transfers. Yet, many people were kind and help get us to where we wanted to go.
With their help we made it out into the city and enjoyed some really nice weather at a local botanical garden (Palmengarten / Google Earth Location – if you’ve installed Google Earth it should take you to the Palmengarten automatically when you open the link). I’ve took some pictures of today’s outing and posted them below for your enjoyment…there’s even one that Erin took of one of my favorite places. I bet you’ll guess right away which picture that is!
After our brief stint in the city we made our way back to the airport, through passport control, and are now just waiting for our boarding call in the next couple of hours. We’re trying not to sleep but we’re so tired as neither of us got even an hour on our flight from home to here. Hopefully by staying awake now we’ll be able to sleep most of the way down to South Africa…we’ll see.
I’d write some more about the book I mentioned in my last post but to be honest I’m pretty loopy right now and fear I wouldn’t make much sense…
I won’t be able to post again for several days, but please know that we can feel your prayers, even through the sleeplessness that has us fogged in at the moment. Your prayers are precious to us as are you! Thanks for being with us in this!
Enjoy the pics!
Reed
PS – Hey Jackson! Hey Abigail! Mommy and Daddy love you both!

Hi Reed and Erin -
Abbie and Jackson liked seeing the pictures you posted, but Jackson wants to see one of the two of you together!! Something to work on for your next post….
Both Abbie and Jackson went to bed well last night and slept great. Neither were sad at bedtime and Jackson prayed “please keep Mom and Dad safe in Africa” which was very sweet. He was so excited to start his day today (Friday) that he woke up at 5:30 and couldn’t go back to sleep! But they are both doing great and Jackson likes to tell everyone he sees that “Mom and Dad are in Africa!”
We’ll be excited to see more as you are able to post to your blog. Take care and you are in our thoughts and prayers! love, Cindy

Hey Reed, Looks like Starbucks is open all night for you! Talk about bringing home with you. Hope you enjoyed your last cup o’joe before you go into the wild untamed lands that don’t have Starbucks!
Hope you both were able to get some sleep.
Talk to you soon.
God bless!
