Well, we're in Paris again, but just an airport hotel. We have no desire to go into the city. We're tired, and frankly I am not that well. No, surely not covid. More the injury some may remember me mentioning the other day. Yes, I know a couple folks here recommended the doctor. Actually, I plan to go to my gp as soon as I get home, assuming that I am still not in good shape. I certainly hope it doesn't worsen enough to warrant it in France. It has, indeed, worsened in some ways. I am not sure exactly what the injury is, despite knowing how I injured myself (fall on steep spiral staircase). Something with a rib/back and neck? Who knows! My legs, toe, and elbow are fine now, with max, residual fading bruises. Gotta be honest and say the causes of the fall were likely a combo of carbamazepine (Tegretol) clumsiness and stress, not that spiral staircases aren't dangerous on their own. Also stubbed my toe yesterday and nearly tripped on a sidewalk curb.

Tomorrow afternoon we return to the US via Montreal, Canada. It will be a long arduous day!

Czech Republic airport officials have been quite tough on me, as an American. Some may recall that they almost didn't let me into Czech Republic from a flight from Spain, despite being married to a Czech citizen. Today, some very nasty airport official made a bit of a deal about me even in departures, asking if I had residency in Czech Republic. As with the arrival, a different official said to let me go. Next time I go to Czech Republic (likely in December), I will have an address in Czech Republic and a copy of my marriage certificate. That should hopefully prevent any hassles. I was even married in Czech Republic (in Prague), so can bring the Czech version. I also have a translated version explaining why my last name is different in Czech Republic. They sure can't question if I'm anyone else, but with the same name. From my internet search research, I am the only person in the world with my precise name. The one and only 😉! There should definitely not be a problem getting home to the US. However, legally we are supposed to quarantine for 14 days after arrival. No contact grocery deliveries are easy. Hubby is still working from home. We will have some workers over, but can mostly steer clear of them.
