Europe Trip Pictures #15: Traveling Home!

The LAST post of Europe pictures! It is a bit bittersweet. :-P
Monday morning we awoke bright and early (as usual, I suppose) and Grand Jean and I waited in the Lobby for Grand Dude to pick us up in the car.

I had a bit of time, okay?

Last view of the hotel.

In the Charles DeGulle or however it's spelled airport

It has a fountain in the middle...

Beneath hamster tubes! :-D

In the Hamster tubes!

Notice I wasn't the only one with paper in my mouth... :-)

Waitin' around after going through security once.

Last step on French soil. (or connector to the plane thingy. same difference. :-D)

Plane #1

German bus :-D

Security #2, Airport #2,

Plane #2

Yummy plane food... not PLAIN food, PLANE food. :-D

Security #3 and 4, (one was customs, though) airport #3

Still happy!
So was I!

Plane #3 that we sat in for a long time while we waited for another pilot to get there. It was the day that Delta down-sized.

After Security #5, we were FINALLY at the Pittsburg airport (#4)!

Yes, I purposely coordinated my outfit to match my luggage that I bought to go together that day... :-D hehe, and to match the parasol I carried all the way back by hand with me!

Waitin' for our ride!

The absolute last picture I took from the entire trip! Thanks for stickin' with me through all the posts! Hope you enjoyed them, and I promise we'll have some pictures and updates from things besides this trip LAST September! :-D
What was your favorite post?

Europe Trip Pictures #14: Sewer Tour And The Meusee' de O'rsay

Sunday, being our last day in Europe, we had to fit in the last two items on our "must see" list. This first thing, the Sewer tour, wasn't on my "must see" but it was on Grand Dude's, so off we went!

It was self-guided. :-D

Olivia & The Pig.

This thing is called a Pig. They push it through a sewer and it de-clogs it.

*sigh* my last look at the Eiffel Tower.

Subway 'gain.

After waiting in a long line to go through security, we got to go through the revolving door. :-D

The view of Momarte from the Orsay.

We decorated our bathroom after this painting (the shade of purple in the flowers is the color of the walls), so of course I had to get a picture of it.
