I recorded this ditty in late July, shortly before embarking on the Big Drive. I trust my pal Grant will appreciate. ;-)

Airports - Part 3 - Back to the Future
SylVie left for Sri Lanka today, via Terminal 1 at CDG. Terminal 1 looked very futuristic when it was buil t in the seventies -- it has been featured in countless movies -- but it has aged poorly, and the never-ending renovation works do nothing to enhance Paris' image in the eyes of the American, Asian and African travellers who are forced to favour the locale. The usual rules of engagement regarding home turf also apply at CDG : Air France wouldn't be caught dead in Terminal 1, so I am usually spared its idiosyncracies.Still, as Ms B was swept up the plexiglass cylinder to the gates (known at T1 as satellites), a first step towards an orphanage in a Buddhist temple, I did have a sense of Back to the Future.
