Sunday morning, I walked from the train to the Schoenefeld Airport and noticed the scaffolding was down and the painting of the mural complete.
I saw the artist’s name, Steven Karlstedt. You might remember the photo of the painting of the mural when I arrived a couple of weeks ago.

Farewell until my next visit.

An aisle seat on both legs of my trip from Berlin to Pittsburgh via Reykjavik, meant no window pics- by me. Fortunately I had great seatmates. One guy used my phone to shoot the scene for me and then Maíra captured the view on her phone and texted them to me. I wanted to see what Iceland looked like by day.

First leg of our journey complete.
Mary and I made it to Okanogan via Seattle and Wenatchee Washington to be with our brother David and his wife Carolee.
It’s a long way from New York City. We got diverted to Minneapolis for a couple of hours but we were fortunate to make our connections. A little more excitement than we needed.
Here’s the article about what happened on our way to Seattle. Alaska Air couldn’t have been nicer to us.

Not certain that’s a word, deicing,de-icing but before Pittsburgh takeoff, a team sprayed down the plane.
Flying in January can be feel iffy in northern climes.
The beginning of my midwinter break last week. Preparing to leave winter for a lovely warm week, part one. Grateful for the crew who deiced the plane!
Looking up into the skylight, I saw this very interesting sculpture during my layover enroute to Florida. It’s made with plastic SOLO cups.
I read there are three other skylight art installations but I am returning through Baltimore.
