May-02-10 Day one in Europe

Today my family and I arrived in Frankfurt, Germany. I woke up last; we had an over night flight. We basically skipped breakfast and for a long time I felt pretty crummy (as you can see). We started driving to Bacharach, a small medieval town near Frankfurt; the youth hostel that we are going to stay at is located there. Along the way, we saw many ancient castles. When we finally arrived, I looked at the youth hostel and realized that the youth hostel was one of the castles that we saw from the road! (I was told before that it was a castle.)
He is a picture I took from the car as we were approaching Bacharach; this is the youth hostel we are staying at.

My family and I started to walk around the little medieval town. I was amazed at how old the buildings were; some houses and shops dated back into the 14 and 1500s! We ate lunch at an old restaurant; we had schnitzel, except for my sister; she had soup. I didn't know what to expect, but I thought the schnitzel was decent.
