About an hour ago we were coming around that last big curve that reveals the expansive valley between Guaymas and San Carlos, with the amber lights of the prison to the left and the overpass leading home to the right. It's a little strange to be looking forward to the lights of a prison, but that's when we know we're ten minutes from our little dogs, a hot shower, the king-size bed...
The Capt met me yesterday at the Tucson airport and after we took care of some paperwork, did a little shopping and got out a large batch of mail, we crossed the border and headed south this afternoon. This drive can sometimes take as much as six hours, but today we made it in four. Our friend Capt Juliet (yes, she has a captain's license) of S/V "Synchrony" housesat for us and took care of Sofia and Chica. I started bringing things inside and unpacking right away, in a rush to settle in again.
After a hard freeze and a furious rainstorm with tornado warnings in Oklahoma, it was lovely to come home to a warm, balmy night back here in San Carlos.
Tomorrow I've been invited for a shrimp luncheon at the home of my friend Ale in Guaymas, where Cynthia (of Cynthia and Mike) will also join us. So glad I got home in time to take advantage of the invitation.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to wander out into this beautiful warm evening and look for Chica. Buenas noches...
