Whewf. Heathrow is a madhouse. Security threats yesterday and all flights were cancelled. You'd have thought I would have read the news to find out about this, but alas, I did not, and showed up to the craziness. Yet I did manage to check-in about 3 hours early and am already sitting in the lounge enjoying free internet and free food. The joys of being a frequent traveller!
The Red Bag is actually, and indeed surprisingly, lighter now than when I left Canada. Joey will soon be the proud keeper of a few books on red wines, the off-the-beaten-track book on Burgundy, and a bottle of Dijon. Alex has scored with getting my black cargo pants and an amazing book called "Paris Noir: The Secret History of a City" by Jacques Yonnet. Honestly one of the best books I have read and strongly recommended for anyone who knows an inkling about Paris, or would just like to read about it.
I am definitely beginning to feel relaxed, and I am totally getting in to the groove of this adventure thang. The red bag is faring well, and am pleased to report that it is indeed water resistant, as I found out yesterday while running to the Gare du Nord in a torrential downpour.
Off now to enjoy salt and vinegar Walker's crisps, and with complete disregard to my sister's ramblings about me being tipsy too often during this trip... a glass of wine!
