News from Yelapa

The days fly by here in Yelapa. I blink, and the time between getting up in the morning and going to bed at night is gone. So it goes in this tropical paradise.

The weather, though, has been mixed until recently, warm and sunny when we first got here at the end of December, the water warm, then cool and overcast and cold water into January, with occasional rain, and through much of February. But March has brought clear skies again, while it remains rather cool for this late in the season.

What we're experiencing, no doubt, is a little of the wintry weather up north -- along with the planet's climate change in general.

No complaints, however. The days tick by quite pleasantly enough, and we still have more than a month to go before we leave here. ETD: April 15. We'll go back to BC to see the damage to our house from trees that fell on it during a windstorm in early February. Temporary repairs have been made by friends and family; we'll do the final repairs when we get back.

Have a nasty cold at the moment. April had it before me. Colds, in fact, have been going around the village all winter and perhaps have something to do with the coolish weather. Still . . . no complaints.
