Four days early, we drove off at 5 a.m. this morning to return home. It's 85F/sunny here and below freezing/snowy back in Kemble but it's time. Florida has far exceeded my expectations as a wintering spot, although you have to be picky as to where and when.
There's an inspiring legend in the Mayan culture of Central America. In the spring (as we call it), when the sun serpent climbed the pyramid of Chichin-Itza it was a sign for the Mayans to plant the crops. Where we are staying, BOTH the sunrise AND sunset are now visible from the balcony. Before yesterday, the alignment of the building only allowed one or the other to be seen. The sun serpent is telling us it's time to go home and plant the crops.
If that weren't enough, yesterday a dolphin emerged in front of us and swam north. We don't mess with the omens --- we're heading north as you read this!
