It was a slow weekend here in Oberursel -- no weekend excursions.
We did make a few discoveries:
- Always make a reservation if you plan to go out to dinner on a weekend night. If you don't, you end up eating inside the restaurant, a problem when there is no air conditioning and it is over 80 degrees
- Chris's key chain for his Mercedes holds the "key" to the grocery cart debacle. One day Katie was fooling around with Chris's keys to his car. She discovered that the little Mercedes insignia pulled out of the key chain. We thought that it was funny and that there must be a reason. After someone showed me a key chain from FIS (Frankfurt International School), it hit me, the little disk (the same size as the 1 Euro coin) can be used to get a grocery cart.

- We discovered an excellent Italian restaurant with a beautiful outside patio in Königstein, a town about 10 kilometers from Oberursel. It was probably the best meal we have had in Germany.
- If you want a good American breakfast, you have to go to Marché located at the gas station about 16 kilometers from our hotel. They have quite an assortment of food, including scrambled eggs with tomatoes, mushrooms and onions (Rührei komplett); they also had "Sweet n Low" -- a product you cannot find in any grocery store here. S and I were very happy.
As always Sunday is a slow day as everything is closed in Germany except for the cafes and restaurants. K and S are headed to the town pool with some kids from FIS. The town pool in Oberursel is huge.
