Rode the train from Frankfurt to Kassel, and are now settling in for a week. Our hotel is right by the train station, but we got a nice room in a quiet part. There are multiple connections by tram and bus to other parts the city--which itself is not all that big. Tomorrow we'll ride the tram to Kassel's famous Park Wilhelmshöhe, which is not far, and up the street from us. I spent a lot of time there as a child. For now, I can post some photos from the Web--there actually are a lot for this area.
(Still figuring out how to upload my own pix using the PDA less-than-fully functioning mobile browser.)
