Au Revoir Tour Eiffel, au revoir Chambre d'Amelie...

We're so sad to go. We finally feel right at home... we can even take the metro with our eyes closed. Parisian life has been good for our health as well as our spirit... and soon enough we'll be back in 'reality.'

A car accident snarled traffic on the way to the airport, so we got there with not a whole lot of time to spare. Things improved: one of the airline people noted my condition and had us jump the line (how can I be expected to give up this privilege forever in eight hours?). By the time we got our baggage checked (one was overweight... oops, too many books!), and our tickets printed, the flight was boarding. And so this adventure comes to a close.
