This morning we sat for a while on the beach and contemplated the crashing surf for the last time. As arranged, Wayne Bourdin picked us up at 11:00 am in his Volkswagen which we burdened to the maximum with our luggage. The day was filled with customary sunshine and we enjoyed a pleasant ride to the airport which included a last tour through Zihuatanejo. He and Nancy are a very kind, friendly couple and we hope to see them again next year.
On the flight from Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo to Mexico City our assigned seats were in the very last row. I said to Carol, "I hope this ride isn't as bumpy as the back seat of an Ixtapa bus." It was worse. Initially we soared smoothly but as we closed in on Mexico City we began to rock and roll, and shake, Baby, shake. We hit the runway with a bang but after the retro-jets cut off things settled down nicely. We especially enjoyed the settling down that followed debarkation.
My brother, Dan, who lives about a 2-1/2 hour bus ride away from this airport did us the honor of paying us a visit for over four hours. Heather was unable to come but the three of us had a supper together seasoned with a good, quality chat.
Carol captured the moment in Gino's Italian Restaurant.
Dan left around 8:30 pm and by the time he's home we'll still be waiting for our flight. It was exceptionally kind of him to go out of his way like that. It brought a great dose of cheer to our otherwise drab interval at this airport.
And so we continue to wait ...
