When I got up this morning I was in a 5 star hotel with Chris. We met his parents for breakfast in the hotel restaurant where we had eaten every night. The fruit flies were virtually gone. Our regular waiter greeted us, but we could not sit in his section because the dining room was so full - a big contrast from the almost non-existent 6 pm crowd. There was a buffet laid out and it was being attacked with gusto. The maitre d' assured us that our breakfast coupons were usable on the buffet. So we dug in. I had scrambled eggs, fruit, and salad. Just as we finished, the couple we met in the airport came in for their breakfast. We hadn't seen them since leaving the airport. We went back to our rooms to pack, and then check out. Chris brought the car around to the lobby and we loaded up the trunk. We drove to a beach that was recommended, but the wind was blowing cold, and the sky was overcast, so we moved on. Then we went to the Glass Castle. It was like an indoor and outdoor museum of glass art. Very beautiful. I took lots of pictures. Then we headed for the airport. We checked in the rental car, and went inside to check our luggage.
Then we stopped at a Paris Baguette for a light lunch. Cecily and I had a salad. Then we went through security to Gate 1. The couple from breakfast was right behind us. And in fact, we all had the same seats as last time, so I sat with them on the plane. The flight was slightly less than an hour. We left the plane, picked up our luggage, and went out to find a taxi. For some reason, the person in charge of taxis put us in an extended taxi. But it did not cost more. Chris called one of his coworkers to explain to the driver where we lived. Chris jumped out when we passed Gate 10. He drove his car home while we went in the taxi. We got there first. I had called Michele to tell her we'd be home soon, and she arrived within an hour, even though she was out with a friend for her birthday. We had a present opening session for her. But there wasn't much opening because I hadn't wrapped the stuff. But she appreciated the red umbrella and FarSide book, as well at the bras Cecily got her. Then Chris cooked leftovers for supper. It was decided that we would go out for her birthday tomorrow night. She wasn't hungry, but she sat and talked with us as we ate.
Then because her grandmother showed an interest in learning the Korean alphabet, she gave us all a lesson on the whiteboard. After that, we settled down to our respective computers. I had almost 200 unread e-mails, but quickly reduced it to 50 by deleting without reading. The electricity went out a few times, not sure what was overloading the circuits. Chris is going to call someone in the morning. And now it is time to make his sandwich, and go to bed. The bean sprouts are soaking now, but I expect they are unrevivable after being left alone since Sat. morning.
