A colleague from David's office invited us to join his family for a Sunday afternoon in Höchst, a town I only knew for its huge chemical plant. It is more well known for its historic old city center. We enjoyed a picnic at a crowded park along the Main River and watched barges pass by. It took a while for the kids to warm up to each other (their two children didn't speak much English) but soon enough, Emilie and the little girl were off to the playground and the other kids kicked around a soccer ball. The grownups chatted about the challenges of living in a foreign country and burned off some calories chasing after Rebecca.
Before we knew it, it was dinner time, so we made our way past the castle wall which dates back to the 1300s and had a delicious meal at an outdoor restaurant in the square. I had Mexican wiener schnitzel. How's that for an interesting combination?
