I'm currently watching the sun rise while eating a croissant in Paris. Yup, life is good :). It's roughly 2am home time but somehow I'm not remotely tired. Just as well as we have 3h to kill before out next flight.
Flight in left late but arrived early - yeah tail wind ;). Only real down side is that moments after they served food both drinks slid off my tray and onto my lap; then seconds later, Chris' did too! I managed to catch the food but I was horribly soaked as was my seat. Actually the most unpleasant experience. And because I was wet, shortly thereafter I was freezing :(. Covered the wet seat w a plastic bag (not sure how useful that was as my pants were pretty thoroughly soaked by that point) and then buried myself in blankets and my heavy fleece *sigh*. Not ideal, but if that's the worst thing that happens on this trip, things are good. Fortunately wearing light summer pants which dried in a couple hours. I don't think I've ever been so grateful to not be wearing jeans!
So I've discovered that the Spanish I've been working so hard to learn has bumped what little French I once knew right out. I did manage the most simplistic of conversations in French, but my brain was going English-Spanish-French. Lol brutal. Ah well - I suppose the plus is that the Spanish is getting better ;)
The Paris airport is a fairly significant step up from Toronto's in design and comfort. Although we were a little annoyed to have to take all our camera gear out to go through security- in TO they just opened the bag. Ah well, at least it wasn't busy ;). So now my phone is in a free charging locker and I'm tying this on my iPad while Chris is off hunting Pokemon - except my seat is a lounge so I may just snag a short nap in the sunlight.
Next stop: Nairobi.
