the Washington Dulles Airport designed by Eero Saarinen in 1958

…is where I’m flying out of tonight to return to Rome via Paris and even though this airport is a serious pain in the ass to get to – with no metro service like DCA (but plans are in the works for a 2016 extension to the Silver Line), it is a gorgeous place to fly, as I’m watching the sun set over a great view of Eero Saarinen’s 1958 terminal from the Air France lounge in Concourse B and now I am remembering that my first trip to Europe when I was 20 departed from here on the same Air France flight to Paris that I am taking today which is making me kind of nostalgic.
