This weekend was Typisch Deutsch, or typically German around these parts.
On Friday, we tried a new restaurant called Weisse Lilie (White Lilly) a Spanish Tapas restaurant in Bornheim. If you ever get to the 'Furt, this is a must. candle-lit-dark-wooded-hand-written-menu-dwarf-appropriate-table-sizes were really enjoyable, and the saffron rice and seafood (not to mention the cured olives) was also excellent. And then we went home, and I fitness walked while listening to a "Fresh Air" podcast. That last sentence makes me seem too teachery...
On Saturday we slept and eventually made our way to Bokenheim for a birthday party. The crowd was international but leaning heavily towards the Natives. I had to actually speak German and mime (One man told me he was a "Tischler" (carpenter) and I started making a hammer motion. Unfortunate.) What was interesting to observe were the German's drinking habits. They drink Coke Light mixed with any sort of Pils! Everyone told me this was the typical German post-college drink. It tasted nasty, but sort of chemically enticing. Maybe a little cough syrupy?
Sunday was BORING because Sunday's are ALWAYS boring in Germany because nothing is open and everyone wears quilted barn jackets and orthopedic shoes as they take their Sunday strolls. We live by old people.

Why would you ruin a perfectly good beer by adding coke to it? I really don't get this, although I remember trying red wine mixed w/ coke one time b/c I was told that Spainards did it.
I couldn't agree me with you emily. What good are the German beer purity laws if reckless drinkers mix beer with coke, sprite, fanta or whatever...Martin Luther is probably rolling over in his grave on this account.
I'm coming to visit just for the restaurant. Frankfurt had a lack of good places to eat, so this cheers me up.
When are you coming to visit?
