My visit to Frankfurt by Rocco

Hi gang!
 
I thought I'd better write today as Chelmer seems incapable. He's been on the internet all day, I think checking flights to Frankfurt. He's been really badly smitten by Teddy De Baer, who we met at the weekend. She's about 7 years older than us but even I have to admit that she wears her age well. She was quite good company too. She ate and drank a bit too much for my liking and I'm sure she is harbouring some dark secret. She was very moody at times - a fact which Chelmer was oblivious to. You should have seen him. He carried her bag all day, found seats for her, bought her nearly a pound of Haribos - and she was lapping it all up. I tell you if they'd been my only company I'd have screamed!

As it was, Katrin, who we were staying with, and who is Birgit's sister, was absolutely wonderful. She was charming, funny, very good looking for a non-bear, and although at times somewhat embarrassed about being seen with us two prize specimen of the bear world, you could almost forget that she was human. Oh yes, and she was an excellent cook!

I can recommend the skyscraper festival to all of you. We enjoyed lots of rides, spectacular architecture, great weather, jaw dropping stunts and brilliant music. The atmosphere was very peaceful and Germans seem a very inclusive nation. They even had a bear band! This liberal attitude and lack of prejudice really surprised me very pleasantly.


Ok. I'm just off to do the washing up as Wade has gone to Tai Chi and Birgit is flaked out on the sofa, looking brain dead.
 
Speak to you soon,
Rocco
