Well, it's all over. Less than two hours until I have to meet the Binets. I'm all packed except for my cameras and laptop, obviously.
Yesterday I met Laureline and Kalek for sushi. It was good to see them before I left.
Then last night was the opera Tosca at the Opera Bastille. The first act was slow, but the second and third were wonderful, and unlike Turandot, I understood the storyline perfectly. And I dunno if they used real gunpowder for the muskets when Calvaradossi was executed, but everyone in the theater practically jumped out of their seats.
Everyone said goodbyes afterward, with lots of hugs and posing for photos. I should have brought my camera, but I thought I'd have to check it at the entrance. I took the metro back alone and stopped for one last walk around La Defense.
I guess this is the end. But only in the sense that it is the end of the beginning.

Thank you so much for the birthday card! It was really touching. When I read it I realized how much I missed you.
Come home so we can go driving!
