A little windy this morning in KEF, during the walk around the engine fan blades were spinning VERY fast

My last KEFs of the season, so I spent it doing some of my favorite things. Soaking in the pool, treats, my favorite coffee shops, fresh fish, and of course shopping for essentials.

O'Hare forever problems for now
A photo of the hall of flags at O'Hare, it's an airport terminal concourse with a curved semitransparent ceiling with white tube arches across. At the bottom of the arches are colorful flags that stick out

I always feel cooler stepping inside Helmut Jahn's United terminal. Been to lots of airports, good and bad, but O'Hare is like being in an airplane wing soaring through the clouds
