Last Evening

Since we leave for the airport tomorrow for an overnight flight back home, today was a day of packing followed by a restful afternoon by the pool. Weeks ago I found a free app for my iPhone consisting of all nine symphonies of Beethoven. Today I plugged in my ear buds and listened to the Third. We're a long way from his home town of Vienna but the music is magnificent and although the app does not identify the orchestra or conductor, the rendering is superb.

The pool's water was an exceptionally smooth mirror today as you can see in the photo ...

A nice advantage of our location in this complex is that we are at the far end of the pool and get to see its whole curvy length when sitting out.

Just before supper, which consisted of leftovers brought home from Emilio's last night because that food is too tasty to waste, the sun put on a colorful display that I captured from our rooftop. On the beach we caught many a cloudless sunset, beautiful in its own way, but finally we got one of the cloud-blazing persuasion, a fitting symbol of our delightful stay in Mexico drawing to an end.

Time to go home to see the family faces we have missed.
