Darmstadt

From Barcelona the trip head towards Germany. For the first time I would stay a couple of days in this country. The arrival at Frankfurt is itself impressing, the airport is huge has is the main train station, a world over rails, it's possible to get anywhere in the world from this city. But my destination was a bit closer, Darmstadt, where some friends are living. Arriving there and I get the first interaction with the german culture, drink beer and eat pretzels. It's all right, but 0,5L glasses take a lot of liquid, and after a few of this weiss beer you'll get really full.
The first of May, we took the train to a nearby village, there we would go up the mountain and take a walk, drink some wines in the middle of the countryside and eat some local specialties. This is the usual thing in Germany, long walks trough the countryside on sundays and holidays. Back to Darmstadt, I went to visit the city symbol, a huge tower that surprised me for surviving the war, it's in a place called Mathildenhöhe that was an art center on the beginnings of the XX century. Germany visit was short but good.
