Travels to a Different Time: Travels of My Mother: 3March1970: Frankfurt, Germany

Dear Barbara:

Again I did not get on an Overseas National Airways flight for the second day in a row.  Want to come home and I could have almost cried. I checked into a hotel near the train station in Frankfurt called The Continental to stay the night. There is a chance I can get a flight on March 5 to Bangor, Maine a refuelling stop of the plane that is then finishing its trip in Los Angeles. I don’t really care where I go other getting over the Atlantic Ocean. I will have to be in the airport at 7:15 in the morning. The next chance will be on the 11^th or the 13^th. The next option might be to return to Spain and head back to the United States from there. This Hotel, The Continental is a funny old one. I should have left my bag at the airport and brought an over the shoulder bag. I tried 4 hotels prior to this hotel but there were no rooms with bathrooms I can’t seem to shake this cold. I looked out the window and there are so many neon lights. The train station in Frankfurt is enormous. I managed o find an American paper and read that another one of the Dionne quintuplets died. She had a blood clot. That the third one that died. I guess they weren’t healthy people. No way I would live in Europe other than in Spain. Too cold and damp in Holland and Germany.

Love Mum
