And still waking up very early (not to mention longing for sleep at 8:30 p.m.!)
Unusually early morning hours are great for wading through accumulated mail. Because of all the bad economic news, I was amazed to find so many invitations salted among the bills & advertising. Came home too late to accept any - no regrets.
Seattle continues in full good-weather mode: few clothes, goofy expressions. After all, this could disappear overnight (just as it does in Paris!) Rhododendrons are glorious. I don't know if they are more opulent than usual this year (because of the cold winter?) or if it's just that I am hyper-aware, since I left town before most were fully in bloom.
I'm still a fan of the Air France flight. Even when the plane is packed full, the service is good, and the food in tourist class is just fine. We landed in Seattle exactly on time Wednesday, and it was possible to watch the landing on the tiny back-of-the-seat TV screen. This is not guaranteed to make me want to fly a very large airplane (or even a small one) but it was fascinating.
No, the picture isn't my favorite Seattle coffee shop - it's the restaurant where I had lunch in Paris on Monday. I could not resist the impulse to add one more Paris picture to the blog.
