I'd like now to comment that, in order to visit my family, I keep going back to the same cities over and over: Frankfurt and Madrid. Do I ever get tired of those two cities? Nope! There's always something new going on. I don't feel like writing extensively about all that I did, but here's a brief table with pictures included:
 | This whas a temporary exhibit in the Palmengartenin Frankfurt. |
|---|---|
 | Another temporary exhibit: Picasso and the Theathre in the Schirn Museum in Frankfurt. |
 | This is the Crystal Palace located in the Retiro Gardens in Madrid. This park is not far from where my in-laws live and I always return for a walk. It is a very peaceful place. |
 | Another temporary exhibit with more than 130 works by M.C. Escher, in the Centro de Arte Canal in Madrid. A very complete exhibit and entertaining visit. I can't believe they don't have a website. I'm linking instead to an article in the press. |
 | These looms belong to the Real Fábrica de Tapices, which more or less translates as the Royal Tapestry Factory. This is a wonderful place to visit, especially if you're in love with handmade textiles. |
 | This is the St. Paul Church in Frankfurt, which was the seat of the first German Parliament. It was almost destroyed during the war. I'd been there before but my husband hadn't. |
 | A temporary exhibit called "The Painter's Garden" in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt. |
There is, of course, so much more that we did that is not included in this table. For example, we visited my sister in law who now lives near Benidorm (she used to live in Guatemala). Also, we spent a lot of time playing with our niece and nephew, and that included sliding down a snowy slope in the Taunus near Frankfurt.
