Going home
I'm planning to go home on Wednesday. The trip is always an ordeal,
especially the three-hour bus trip (Caliban complained for the first two hours straight when we came here), but once we're home, the cats are usually alright. They sleep for the first 24 hours, then they settle back in to being indoor cats with just the outside enclosure, instead of a whole big island to roam about. It's always bittersweet to leave the island after a long stay. But the conditions are quite primitive, and I will welcome the hot shower, inside plumbing, electricity always available, broadband... But I will miss early morning skinny dips in the cold sea (nothing wakes you up as quickly!), watching the cats rolling around on the warm smooth cliffs, walking barefoot on the warm smooth cliffs, smelling the sea air, the cats galloping ahead of me everywhere I go, the swans and other sea birds sailing by with their young in tow... Ah well, next summer, we'll be back. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

Ah well, next summer, we'll be back. That sounds wonderful, so relaxing. I would forego some comforts of home for a while, to enjoy all that beauty and peacefulness, and to let my kitties have so much fun. Hope your trip home is uneventful! -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |
