Here we are arriving at the Hotel Konigshof. The hotel is very near the Dom. Parking was about 2 blocks away which we got a 50% discount on. The hotel was nice and the breakfasts were good and free. We had fresh flowers in our room but a terrible view, even though we were close to the cathedral. The staff here spoke good english and were completely smitten with Ann-Marie. In fact everyone we met was smitten with her. Jake and I found ourselves looking at each other with perplexed looks...wondering, "what's going on here?" But you know, Ann-Marie just marches around chit chatting and talking non stop even if people don't speak English, she doesn't pay any mind. Even though she is learning German, she doesn't really speak much when we're out in public, except to order her food/drink or say hello/good-bye or say just a few words. It seemed she got her cheeks squeezed multiple times. We noticed there were very few kids to be seen at all. We discussed it and we guessed that if we saw a little German girl walking around in the USA just a doing what she pleased, speaking German sprinkled with a few English words and looking cute, we might make a fuss too.
