Part 2- not so Happy Father’s day for Armand  BOAT to TRAIN to Another train to BIKE to Hotel Maingau

Off the boat-back to Hotel Ritter to get our bikes but 1st we have lunch at Subway again. Now asking directions to train station. By the time we got there, last train to RHODT had left. Now buy tickets to WORMS-TOMORROW’S destination! Oh no- fire on tracks in Mannheim-all trains canceled today can’t make it to Mainz either. Meet nice lady who helps us. Now exchange tickets back to Frankfurt. Lady tells us platform has been changed. Now trying to take bikes on escalator-almost fall backwards. Another change-now trying to carry bikes up the stairs- very heavy bike-Armand has to come back to help me. Finally on train to Frankfurt with our bikes. Arrive in FRANKFURT around 9pm. Hotel desk closes at 9:45. Start biking- but not sure where. Not going any further until we ask for help. Unbelievable-Armand asks a BIKE ANGEL who says he will take us to hotel-Armand almost falls off bike again-leg is bleeding. Angel doesn’t accept any money. Arrive at front door of Hotel Maingau at 9:40. Toothpaste isn’t really that important-ask for extra towel for blood & & bandages. I play nurse and tape his leg. Having a bed to sleep in is very important. How do homeless people survive on the streets? HAPPY FATHER’S DAY ARMAND!!!!! Our phones were dead so he did not get messages from TERA, JENNIFER & JOHN hoping he had a great father’s day.

My bike at the train station-hundreds of other bikes parked there
Not easy to take bikes up and down escalator
Arthur & Sparky are so happy to be on the train
Back of leg is even worse a FATHER’S DAY TO REMEMBER

  1. Dear Karen and Armand, so much empathy to both of you. Want to hear better stories soon. Hope you get reunited with your luggage and phone chargers. Love you both, Molly & Whitney
