Cranes are everywhere in this fast-growing city of skyscrapers. The church pictured is Kaiserdom, and this photo was taken from my roadside table at a small bakery. In the Let's Go Europe guidebook, Frankfurt am Main (Frankfurt on the Main River) is described as "Main-hattan," for its many successful business people who move with haste and authority throughout the walkable city limits. I would agree, and this sleek, monocromatic city was quite a change from South Asia. After 1.5 months in India, it was nice to take several solo walks throughout this camel-free, cow-free, waterbuffalo-free, honking-free, pollution free, pedestrian-friendly city.
