It's too bad you weren't as fresh as you'd like to have been but you certainly picked up on a lot of what was around you.

I always think the flight back made me more jet lagged than the flight out. I guess because I was so wound up I could go go go then on the way home it all catches up to you.

I’m quite stunned by some of the plants that were happily ignoring the fact that it was winter when you were there (melianthus, acacia, tetrapanax...); I thought Paris was much colder than Portland.
