So tonight is Christine’s last night in Seattle, Yes, she heads out tomorrow afternoon for the long flights (note, plural) home to Nantes. Losing 9 hours along the way, she’ll likely be home some time a week from next Tuesday. Well, you do the math. A nine hour flight to Amsterdam, plus nine hours lost for time zones, plus a 90 minute layover in Amsterdam, plus a 90 minute flight to Nantes, then the drive home from the Nantes airport. It all adds up to a week from next Tuesday.

Anyway, because of the significance of this being Christine’s last night with us, I wanted, in fact I strove, to get a poignant photo to share with you all. This is what I got, Christine and Melinda during our 60 minute wait for pizza at Mioposto Pizzeria. Clam Bake pizza. Yum.

Two years ago I think it actually was a little more poignant on Christine & Bérnard’s last night in Seattle…
