Day 8

As we walked to the grocery store after class today Steph mentioned that one week previous at that moment we were passing through customs. I realized all of the things I have wanted to blog about  that I have not in the last week. 
What Cozumel has in surface area it makes up in street lamps. Which has bummed me out to some degree because I was hoping for more stars. I guess we will have to make an overnight trip to the other side of the island to see the milky way.
What is up with the moon,  a lunar cycle is a lunar cycle but this far south a new moon seems to last forever. Which would have been nice if it were not for all the god damn street lights.
Holy shit, did I mention we are one block from the ocean? All of you Oregonians do not get teary eyed fantasies about living a block from the ocean, it isn't expanses of beach with unlimited access. But it is  beautiful, the pallet of blues is unimaginable.  
We have been annoyed in needing to put on a light sweater while dining outside at 8 in the evening. And the temperature has never broached 85 since we have arrived. Pbbbbbbbsss. That is me giving you a raspberry.

  1. I hope that you get to se a starry night soon! Do you suppose that the array of blues that you can see are from different depths or from coral reefs?
    What is the shoreline like? rocky? cliffy?
    In any event the raspberry is well placed. Although the temp was up to 60 this morning the rain has been and is expected to stay heavy and steady for a while. Back down to the 40s in a few days. Ah well it is December! Love you tons.
