Europe Bound

It is off to Europe to visit Emily and Marc in Strasbourg for a few days and then join them on a tour to Rome.  Our departure is from Atlanta.  Accustomed to 20 plus hour trips from Alaska to Europe, I had booked direct flights from Atlanta to Frankfurt—a very humane 10 hours.  We would then take the Lufthansa bus to Strasbourg, which is a 2 1/2 hour trip.

The flight was curious.  There were a very large number of eastern Indian travelers, many of whom required wheelchair assistance.  We speculated about a medical pilgrimage.  Perhaps, health care is less expensive, or of better quality, in India (or, conversely, in Atlanta).  

Many apparently had ordered Indian-style food, and a lovely smell of curry wafted over us as we ate what was truly the worst airline mystery meat meal ever.  (The return meal was quite good so I don't fault Lufthansa.)
