The D&O Diary’s European travels continued last week with two stops in Germany — first, a stop in Frankfurt, the country’s business and financial center, and with a further stop over the weekend in Berlin, the country’s capital and largest city.Continue Reading Frankfurt and Berlin
The D&O Diary is on assignment in Europe this week, with the first stop in Frankfurt, the German financial capital. The spring weather in Frankfurt was mild and pleasant while I was there, though I was in Frankfurt all too briefly.

The D&O Diary is on assignment this week in Europe, with a first stop in Frankfurt, Germany.
