One leg left 
| | Pausing to catch a few wifi minutes, passing through Denver. I thought I had enough of a layover at Dulles to get some work done, but I spent hours in a river of unhappy people crowding through the worst customs bottleneck I've seen since, well, the last time I went through Dulles. What an awful setup they have there. I'll bet up to a quarter of the people in line missed their connections. |
| | It's 8:05pm here now. That's 4:05am in Denmark, where the sun is coming up, probably. I'm close to being up 24 hours now. I think I've had one hour of sleep on a plane, somewhere over Davis Straight, Labrador and northern Quebec. |
| | I was on the wrong side of the plane for photography (the left, south, and sunny side); but Iceland and Greenland were clouded over anyway. |
| | Severe turbulence under dissipating thunderstorms turned several planes away from appoaching Denver, but we got through okay. The storms are gorgeous now, in the evening light. |
| | Okay, one more plane, then home. |
One more reason I'll miss Denmark
| | The floors at CPH are wood. Even out through the concourses, you walk or push your luggage cart over soft, quiet, tasteful flooring. |
| | The SAS lounge is also one of the nicest I've visited. An orange buddha statue sits silently at the top of the stairs. A fireplace burns quietly in the corner. Instead of peanut bags, a salad bar with a choice of fine breads. Two real cappuchino machines. Nice. |
Hopping home
| | Had a fabulous time here in Copenhagen. I leave around noon today, and get back to Santa Barbara around 10 tonight, by way of D.C. and Denver. Long flight day. |
