there's always Paris
On a trip that was to have only one RER train journey from the airport into Paris proper, so far, we're into our sixth.
It's early in the morning. Five maybe? We don't have suitcases (where are they?) and so it feels slightly odd to be gathering our things at the hotel, hoping for a flight home today.
We're on stand-by on a flight that has many, many stand-bys. It's this flight or no flight at all. I'll post about our last day in Paris (am I being overly optimistic?) when we have news as to what's next. Of course, you can read about Europe's air travel this week elsewhere too. In the New York Times for example.
In the meantime, I'll leave you with one photo. Paris, somewhat misty and surreal.

hi nina,
ReplyDeletei'm really enjoying reading your blog. i spent last school year "on the other side of the ocean" myself (studying abroad in copenhagen) and i enjoy reading your thoughts from an "adult" (and parent's) perspective. i haven't yet been to paris but there are some things i am longing for from europe in general (high speed trains, for example!). may your travels be safe and your holidays happy!
