Sitting in Charles De Gaulle Airport having missed our connection to Nice. We were late arriving and we ran about eight miles to get to the gate but we were one minute late and they had closed the flight! We are booked to leave in two hours so here we sit in the Air France lounge, yep, talked my way in once again. I’m sipping a Ricard and Cindy is enjoying lovely Burgundy white, so the world is a good place.

Last night I made a clean-out-the-fridge dinner, which turned out great. I sautéed a diced zucchini with lots of garlic until everything was nicely browned. I added some parsley, mint and oregano and cooked it a bit more adding a ladle of the pasta water. When the spiral pasta from Zagreb was cooked I tossed everything with some Parmesan and served it with the last of the French bread that was toasted in the oven. Not half bad.
This morning we did last minute packing and then walked over to the train to go to the airport. It was a very quiet day and we scored an exit row seat with an empty middle; travel doesn’t get much better in coach.
Time to focus on serious drinking before the flight. Will write more tomorrow from Nice, I hope. In the meantime we can’t help but notice that in Paris at 4:30 pm the skies are blue and bright – it’s pitch dark by now in Moscow. Bon voyage to us – missing that connection was not fun but all is well! Cindy and Wm
