Opernplatzfest July 2, 2013...Somewhere in Hessen...Day 37

Back to Frankfurt for another festival!

Today we took a brief visit to a week-long festival called the Opernplatzfest.  This festival touts the slogan "eat the World" as there are foods from all over the world offered here.

The opening "gate" to this free event.

We hit the fest on day 2 around 6pm and there were plenty of people still dressed in business attire...a perfect "happy hour" type of event!  Our first stop...Apple (apfel) wine!

The traditional apple wine glass.

Sabine saying "cheers".
I spotted these huge pans of Italian goodness...


Heard music coming from somewhere close by...so we meandered over to take a look...

The Lady sang "Simply the Best" by Tina Turner and killed it!

My man was jammin...see video below!





Some more random shots of the festival.

The amazing old opera house, formal name Alte Oper.

Opera house and fountain.

Many tents offering various types of food.

More tents of goodness.

Goodbye to the Opernfest.
It was an interesting few hours of good music, food aromas, apple wine and people watching.

Club (Verein) June 2013

Somewhere in Hessen...Day 12: Club Night # ONE:  Casa Latina

The Travel Ninjas love to party.  We drink, dance, flirt and have a general good time wherever we are in the world.

Tonight we experienced Club Latina.

Native Ninja said this might be a hot night for us.  Plenty of peeps had rsvp'd on the Facebook page (and from some of the profiles that rsvp'd I was excited to meet them...).  We dressed carefully and headed out full of expectation.

On the way there we were treated to a beautiful rainbow sunset...the cam could not quite capture how amazing this sunset was:

Breathtaking!

Ok...nature viewing was over....we headed to the Verein!


The club was gorgeous, the music was loud and right...but why was it empty?  We were fashionably late (party started at 9, we got there at 11)...where was everyone?  The girl at the door said it should "pick up in about an hour".


Helloooooooo?

In the meantime I was struck by this quote etched on the wall:

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are"

and of course...the required "kissy-face picture" to pass the time...

Kisses from Hessen!
Trying to catch the Native Ninja in the club lights...

The beautiful Native Ninja
Finally some people showed up.  Not a lot of people, but enough that when "Too Close" by Next starting spinning we finally danced enough to sweat!  Yes!  We went outside for some fresh air.  This club was beautiful inside and out.


Although the crowd never quite "popped" we had a good time at Club Latina.  The drinks were strong, the waitstaff was friendly/gorgeous and there was even advertising on the paper towels in the bathroom!  Propaganda or clever marketing trick? You decide!

They usually have Salsa dancing every Friday night and brunch on Sundays.  I truly hope we can make it back there before I (the Visiting Ninja) go home.


Come club with us!  Let's dance the night away in a foreign land!
