Home Again

It feels like we were in Ecuador for a very long time.

The weather is completely different now than when we left. The trees have all shed their leaves and the temperature has dropped into the 30's during the day. It snowed the day after our return. The daylight hours feel very short. In a way, it was better to come back to weather like this than to heat and humidity. We were used to being cold on the mountains and in the huts, and the heat and moisture of Miami was a shock when we stopped there between flights. I was happy to get onto the air conditioned plane and leave the natural air outside.
