In Transit

 

I was prepared for a long wait in the Delhi Airport for the trip home so I left my hotel at midnight for my 3 am flight to Seattle via Frankfurt.  To my surprise,  it took me only 1.5 hours from the time I arrived at the airport to the time I was sitting at my departure gate.   And that included exchanging my remaining rupees back into dollars. 

The flight into Frankfurt was uneventful and arrived early.  The Frankfurt airport is large and I had to take a tram from the arrival gate to the departure gate.  I had to go through security again.  The Germans are very,  should I say, careful.  I received one of the most thorough pat down searches of my life.  Let's just say that the security officer knows me quite well now.
