Michigan yesterday afternoon.We had an extremely early wake-up call as we had to leave the Abbey by 5:30AM to make everyone's flights out of Paris. George, an intern at the Abbey, drove us in the Abbey's minivan (had it not been so early, it would have been a hilarious scene since everyone had bags underfoot as well as on their laps to fit everything!) - and we made it all safely to the airport. After one last excursion to the "Picasso of pastries", Pierre Hermes, to pick up some of his famous macaroons, we were off.
The flight was uneventful, and although we stopped having access to the movie-player about halfway through because too many people were using it, everything mostly went well. (I have to say Air France has wonderful meals!) We were all happy to arrive in Detroit, where all of our friends and relatives were eagerly waiting to pick us up.
We will certainly all miss the Abbey and its serene setting, as well as the friends we made while we stayed there. It has definitely, as Peter wanted it to, given us "memories to last a lifetime!"
Au revoir!
