New Year’s Day and I am on my way to visit family in Germany. The first leg was uneventful, only 1/2 hour late and I had a good seat mate. The 2nd leg is almost ready for boarding. It’s the long portion — 9 1/2 hours.
The gardens inside the international wing of the airport here are beautiful. Kalanchoe with white flowers separate benches from the pond. Glistening coins line the bottom of the pond. I wonder how many people have received the things they wished for as they tossed their coin.
I didn’t wish for anything today. Maybe I’m too frugal to throw away coins, or just too cynical to believe that a wish expressed will come true.
