Milwaukee to Chicago to Frankfurt

I had no idea that it was only a 20 minute flight to Chicago. Chicago is a big airport and that was my first real challenge. Fortunately the Lufthansa terminal was in the same airport just a long way away. There's no passport check and I was expecting customs and the usual how's your father. My bag was checked in from Milwaukee and it arrived in Frankfurt as requested. So far no lost bags.
I have gotten used to premium economy thanks. Leg room and service although not as good as ANZ. The flight was 8 hours and I chose not to sleep but to watch movies. I'm shattered and so far have managed to throw my shoe across the security section while 4 or 5 security persons looked astonished,  drop the contents of my bag for the passport control, lose one hotel room key and misunderstand the hotel porter who chased me up the street because I went in completely the opposite direction to where he sent me for a tourist bus. I feel pressure.
Frankfurt is another big airport but things are marked well. However after you have walked right across one terminal and down another in the opposite direction, upstairs and then downstairs and then on 3 travellaters you do begin to wonder if someone is having a laugh. Eventually I found the baggage claim and a policeman to do the passport check. At the entrance door was a little man holding a sign that read " Maarrienne Langton" bless he'd covered all the bases and could speak Italian, German and a little Spanish but NO English. Made for a fun time when I thought I had to tip him. I think he thought I was offering him an indecency and he looked most perplexed.He came into the hotel to get help to get me off him I think, but he still took my euros when he got the gist and realised I was cray cray but harmless. The Hilton Frankfurt is nice. I'm sure I was meant to be a millionaire.
The tourist bus tour was great when I finally found where the bus stopped. I looked at many beautiful sights and have no idea what they were because the headphones didn't work. I have seen where the judïche museum is but I am not sure I can find my way back to it. I would like to see that and I know I'm missing heaps. It's cold here and I froze today because I left without a jacket.
There was a beer and wine drinking street set up today and once again I could not explain what I wanted or even interpret what the dishes were so I ate a pastry that had wasps on it. I figured it must be good if they couldn't leave it alone
Not being able to speak German is a handicap for certain. I point and wave money about and so far have had foul food because I can't explain what I mean. I point and they say," oh. Da hochenstrudelfabenhusen. " I nod like an idiot and end up with something that looks like boiled cabbage in a trifle, with a butter filling.
So here I am at the cafe bar in the hotel trying to find something I recognise that doesn't sound like Offenbach mit der breihmen und schwarzthausen mittenherfen. I went for fish and chips because I recognised it on the menu. How sad is that. I hope I don't faceplate in my dinner and go to sleep.
