H & I are back home after our New England trip.
H decided she was in for the evening after the Cambridge museumings. I went out to bring us back some dinner (falfael sandwiches from Algiers) and breakfast for the next morning (croissants from Tealuxe tea shop).
Got to Boston Logan airport in the cab at 4 whatever am; waited in multiple lines and the usual shoeless searches. Next time, can we fly on TWA or Pan-American? The loud speakers at the terminals kept repeating the message that The Department of Homeland Security had upped the official level of mandatory hysteria to Orange Flavored Alert. Either I developed a light cold or something in Boston was irritating my sinuses-- I was sneezing more and more the last two days in town, but it got massively better when I deplaned in Cleveland where we changed flights, and it pretty much went away when I showered back home. However the sinus problems have a continued manifestation in the longest lasting case of airline ears I've ever had-- everything's still at very low volume hours later. The cab driver in New Orleans seemed to be a recent immigrant without much familiarity with the city-- how did he get an airport hack licence? Possibly driving the cab for some relative.
H & I celebrated our return home to New Orleans by getting a garlic and chicken pizza from up the street.
We had a splendid time in New England, and saw a great sample of Providence, Cambridge, and Boston considering the short amount of time we had there.
