Time was up on our tropical getaway to Cozumel. The lost luggage was returned (now to make a claim) and the last dawn glowed like the end of our rainbow. Uplifting to walk among the bougainvillea. Take off gave a drone-like shot of the busy harbour. A last farewell to the coast of Yucatan...
Masked and a bit reddened, out the window the sun set on the shortest day of the year. Nothin' but brighter from now til June!
BUT. Drastic re-entry restrictions on arrival back home. Passports got red or green stickers (Christmas cheer?) Guess who got chosen for a random COVID test? Serious registration, testing, tracing. 36 hours later the results came in email: negative, again. Like dodging Omicron bullets these days...
Coz was snorkeling but Toronto is skating, in at least 3 rinks within blocks of us.
On the harbour, still no ice cover. So the usual kayakers paddled in a group of 3. But the new guy on the block wore a red suit, steered a sail instead of a sleigh, and was guided by a red nose. Hi Santa!!
Merry Christmas, even with restrictions and bad omens! One giant snowflake ---- promising more for the New Year?
