Adieu, Paris

We took the Paris shuttle into CDG this morning, which is a deal and a half at 38 euro for two people, door to door. We somehow managed to get the meekest French driver in the history of French motoring but got there on time. I bought a few more bottles of 2005 bourgognes in duty free and then it was boarding time. The flight was awful as usual. No leg room, no individual screens, no snacks, and the flight was late. The captain got on the PA and said that we were "Legerement en retard" -- lightly late. The contrast of such flowery language and the sight of hundreds of us crammed into uncomfortable seats like cattle made be chuckle a little.
