We had an excellent view of Mount Rainier as we flew away from green, moisture-filled Seattle, on our way home to the parched reality that is California.
It was a great weekend but it’s good (very good) to be home.
Farewell to the PNW
Bicoastal perspective
I saw this on Facebook. Here’s what the original post said:
For all my East Coast friends & family who say – “Oh, we’ll be in Los Angeles – why don’t you drive down for a visit !”
We are on the coast where the “o” in “Sacramento” is.
I haven’t spent all that much time on the East Coast, but I’ve certainly experienced a similar challenge when I try to convey just how far apart things are in California (much less the whole of the United States!) to friends and family in Switzerland and/or Italy.
Every point on the globe has its own unique “reality,” which is why I’m so grateful for the opportunity to travel and even live in places so different from where I grew up.
Missing these two already
We left Canobbio at 6:30 this morning, to drive to Malpensa airport (outside Milan).
After our traditional cappuccino and brioche with Silvio and Graziella we boarded a short flight to Zurich, followed by a twelve flight to San Francisco and — voila! — we’re back in California.
The daily view
I’m going to miss seeing this view during my walk to and from the car every day. Three more nights and then home to California!
