Leaving America

John Wise and Jutta Engelhardt in Phoenix, Arizona

Just as I picked up Jutta in Denver, she’s leaving for Germany through Denver too except this time Caroline is flying with her to make sure everything goes okay. This has been a relatively quiet trip with Jutta here in Arizona with us. No grand adventures, just a lot of hanging out in our day-to-day life. It was six weeks away from the cold of the German winter but she’s returning to two months more of that season when she lands in about 16 hours from now. This is strange to think that this is our last photo together in the United States. Of course, I’ll see her again in Germany but these visits to our home have filled her with so many indelible memories that it is a sad thought of not seeing her face light up with a giant smile when she sees the two of us waiting for as she makes her way off the plane and into the terminal.

Giant Crater in Arizona

Caroline obviously got the window seat on the way to Denver and snapped a few photos along the way including this shot of the Meteor Crater in Northern Arizona. She also had a couple of nice photos of the snow-covered mountains coming out of New Mexico into Colorado but without much more to write about I won’t be sharing this time.

Denver Airport

By the time they arrived, the ladies had to hoof it to the plane due to some reason or other and some delays that were going on due to heavy snow. In their haste, Caroline never had the opportunity to snap a selfie of them but with her own plane back to Phoenix delayed she hung out until Jutta was well on her way back to Frankfurt.
