Saturday, September 27. By prearrangement, a taxi picked us up at 6:00 a.m. to take us to the train station where we would catch the 6:35 bus to the Munich airport. We were at the airport by 8:30. We had ample time for breakfast there before reporting for our 11:40 nonstop flight.

Our trip back went smoothly. We landed at Dulles just after 3:00 p.m. Joseph met us at the airport. Julia had even sent some sandwiches and fruit along with him in case we were hungry. We got back to Massanutten at 7:00 p.m.

Observations. What can I say? We were looking for nostalgia and we found it. Everywhere we went rekindled fond memories from decades past. Our farewell to Elfie was perhaps the most poignant. We regretted that we did not spend more time with her but we were too unsure of her condition to plan an extended visit. Overall, we enjoyed the visits to our old haunts much more than if we had gone to places we had never been.
