Hello,
All of us went out exploring after Sarah
got home. Leroy, Lexi and I when to a 3D film on current day Jerusalem with a
little history thrown in. Leroy especially liked it. I put it above average.
At the end of the afternoon we ate at
a Bohemian restaurant. It was fun to taste some familiar foods well prepared .
While the others were at work or in
school Sarah, Leroy and I visited the aero space museum out at Dulles airport. That
was quite interesting. I thought it was great to hear the control tower people talking
to the pilots. We heard a plane cleared for landing and saw it come in.
On our way to the Reagan airport we
once again used the Metro. It was interesting to me that at an early hour in
the morning, unlike in the afternoon, not many people were using their phones
or tablets. It was more of a dull, in a trance, look about them. Leroy and I
fit right in.
As we were waiting in the airport we
heard an announcement from the next gate over that the pilot departing for Alaska
was retiring as of that flight. The entire group waiting at all close gates
clapped for him. His family was flying with him on this last flight. We were
introduced to them too.
At the Detroit airport our plane was
de-iced. I could not see anything on it, but… it seemed so strange because the
temperature in DC had been in the 70’s the day before. Where was this ice
coming from? Long before we got to Cedar Rapids snow and then more snow became
visible on the ground. We stepped out of the airport into rather frigid
temperatures. Luckily the bus came in good time so we did not have to be out
for long. My body was not adjusting quickly but thankful for a warm coat.
