We have had the most fabulous summer!!!!!!!!!!! But it's over now and not just because of the date on the calendar or the temperatures with only highs in the 40s up here, but because it's time to head back home to Merida. We have had 7 months of seeing friends and family, entertaining ourselves with new and old games and fun, working (well at least one of us!) with wonderful clients, and bumming around. We now look forward to spending more than a week at a time in one bed and seeing familiar things around us.
Eva and I will drive back. Yes, it's 3200 miles and no, we're not completely insane. We have some stuff to take back (including a new Wii with attachments and games) and think we'll be happy to have a car in Mexico now that it's working like a dream again.
And so we have packed and organized some more and cut some things we'd planned to take home (but not the Wii) and now the car is stuffed. We will head off tomorrow.
We have been able to delight in the fall colors (which are amazing this year-- see them at http://picasaweb.google.com/necshs1/FALLInIllinois2009), enjoy several Met operas live in HD with popcorn, and have a last round of goodbye's until next year. This has been a very successful experiment and one we will repeat -- or Eva's newly re-found clients will hunt her down (or, more likely, hunt me down) to be sure she returns!
We have laughed until we cried or peed or both and look forward to more of the same down south for the winter months. So, look out Merida, here we come.
