  1. Germany Tour with Jazz Avenue March 20-25, 2012

  2. Day 1: Breakfast at The Big Kitchen A friend and treasured supporter of Jazz Avenue was kind enough to treat us to free breakfast at their eatery, The Big Kitchen. Breakfast started at 8:30 AM and ended around 10:00 AM. The departure for the flight was not until 1:30 PM so we had some time to burn just before taking off to Washington D.C.

  3. Day 1: The Airport My Uncle who I call Uncle Bart took me, my family , and all the heavy luggage to the airport. The name of the airport is Charles Lindberg Airport. Upon arriving we met up with Chaz Cabrera, the leader of Jazz Avenue and his family. After checking in out luggage and going through security check, we encountered the rest of the band, along with Ms. Paige

  4. Day 1: The Flight to Washington D.C Somewhat of a long flight. 5 hours wasn’t too bad; spent most of it sleeping.

  5. Day 1: Arrival in Washington D.C. Airport

  6. Day 1: Off to Frankfurt, Germany An even longer flight that the one to D.C.! If I recall correctly, the flight was about 8-9 hours. Pretty long, but not as long as the trip to the Philippines.

  7. Day 2: Arrival in Frankfurt Airport First thing I noticed was the weather, it’s not all that cold compared to what the forecast said! Got our luggage and soon after, we all took cabs to our hotels.

  8. Day 2: The Hotel The parents, Ms. Paige, and I checked into the Sheraton Congress while the Band and Chaperone checked into the Holiday Inn Express. The rooms were pretty small, but they looked pretty comfy.

  9. Day 2: Walking Tour of Frankfurt with Jennifer Jennifer was to be our tour guide in Germany but we first had to meet with her in Hauptbanhnhof Train Station. Here are some pictures of our journey through the unknown streets of Frankfurt. Side note: we had to leave right after checked in, so we were still pretty tired.

  10. Day 2: The Train Station/Meeting Spot The train station was definitely busy. People were making their way through all directions!

  11. Day 2: Bratwurst/German Sausages The food in Germany is heavenly.

  12. Day 2: Saint Bartholomew Cathedral One word: Beautiful.

  13. Day 2: Top of Galleria Amidst the highest point of Galleria (the mall). Such a great view.
