A river and a lot of books

Well, in the last days my parents have been here, visiting me and life is getting quite hectic. I cannot control my house and my fridge, I do not know how many food I have and when I should go to the supermarket... Oh, Lord, life was easier when I was alone. But only concerning logistics; it is great having my parents here, after quite a long time living in different countries.

Yesterday I took them to the Romantic Rhine, to Boppard, when the Rhine makes a huge curve, almost in a 360º angle. The trip had some problems in the beginning: we had to get up extremely early, fog dominated the landscape and the train I planned to take did not run on Saturday. But, in the end, despite the fog and the cold weather which welcomed us in Boppard and despite the restaurant where we had lunch (the average age of customers was around 70 years), they enjoyed this wonderful area of Rhine. The views from the Gedeonseck, got after an amazing uphill trip in "Sesselift", were worth the entire journey. The way back, with a stop in St. Goarshausen to see the Loreley was much easier and quicker.Today, we have gone to the Frankfurt Book Fair, the largest one in the world. There was a lot of people, few books in Spanish and not many books to buy. In any case, we have bought three books, with important discounts, but we have also taken home a lot of papers we did not, do not and will not need at all. Now, all of them are in the dustbin.
