The final day of my trip, the van took me back to the airport where I had to penetrate Delta's security forces (with submachine guns drawn!) in order to reach the check-in counter. Successful, I parked myself in the waiting lounge.

 


01) ROME |
One last look at Rome (or at least the airport). That's my plane in the foreground. I still have yet to set foot in a 747 in my life.

 


02) SOMEWHERE OVER SOUTHERN EUROPE |
Skyneighbor.

 


03) SOMEWHERE OVER SOUTHERN EUROPE |
Zoom shot.

 

 


04) ATLANTA |
Sunset from the terminal. I slept on the flight back to Portland. Kind of a pity since it was nearly empty and the flight attendants were extremely attentive and were bringing much food and drink. I was simply too exhausted to partake.

 

 


05) PORTLAND |
Back home and dreaming of...

 


06) BORA BORA |
... gorgeous in decay.
