94. On the way back from the Big Island to Germany

We left Friday night. The crew and some of the passengers wore masks.

On the Saturday night flight from San Francisco to Germany, we flew Lufthansa, and masks were required on that flight, so everybody wore one. In town in San Francisco, it seemed about half and half.

Our taxi driver into town noticed that some of us were speaking German, and I noticed he had a slight accent himself. I asked where he was from, and he said "Soviet Union." This seemed and odd response, and he said that when he left, that WAS the country he left from. I asked what part, and he said the Donyetsk area. We spoke Russian for most of the rest of the ride. He said he couldn't believe how the world he came from had gone completely berserk, and how glad he was to be in San Francisco instead. I guess!
