Arrived home, yesterday. Last Saturday, two miles in a Paris
taxi cost twenty-five euros, about thirty-two US dollars for a half-hour drive.
Monday night, two speedy miles (about ten minutes) in a London
taxi cost twenty-five pounds, over forty US dollars.
Yesterday, during a 2 ½ hour taxi home from Los Angeles
International Airport (eighteen miles, normally a half-hour drive) I was
thankful for jet lag, which kept me fading out. Our driver said two accidents
on Interstate 405 were the cause. The damage: $116.85, even detouring on
Sepulveda Blvd.
Home and broke, but still soaring from the joys of France.
