Halloween Morning in Höchst

I seriously have to stop writing about food!  

Well, good news!  We did something besides eat on Saturday.

We decided to stick around Frankfurt this weekend since we have some out-of-the-city traveling on the horizon.  I found a website with information on "free things to do."  So we hopped on the subway and headed to Höchst, a subsection of Frankfurt, which happens to be the oldest part of the city.   They have a market on Saturday mornings and I thought it would be a good place to get breakfast!  (Ok, this post is mostly not about food)

The market turned out to be pretty small, but big enough to find a tasty sandwich, fresh bread with creamy cheese spread on top, and a good coffee!  Fritz and I shared our breakfast and then perused the market.  

We were happy to find the one-and-only person in all of Frankfurt (this statement is based on empirical evidence collected after a full day of searching) who was celebrating Halloween!  

As most murderous butchers do, he was selling mushrooms this Saturday morning.  

After the market, we headed around the bend to Old Town where there stands a German castle!

Originally there was a moat around the castle, but now it's a pretty garden for visitors to walk through. 

And take pictures. 

Here are some other pictures from Höchst...

I had to snap a picture of this pole on which someone had slapped a kind-hearted bumper sticker.  

"REFUGEES WELCOME" brought to you by the LGBTTI Community (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Transgender and Intersexual). 

We have not seen too much evidence of refugees in Frankfurt yet, although it's a major topic of discussion here and is in the news daily.  It was nice to witness evidence of one minority group showing their support for another.
