Goodbye Bahamas. Can it be? We are now in Florida.
I am in full shock. Cars. Highways. people. System overload.
“Where is the water? says Emma.
Sunday – Tuesday Update 3/26/19:
We are writing to you from Fort Pierce, Florida at my Dad’s house. We left the Bahamas 48 hours ago….it has been a bit surreal saying goodbye to Amel and being back in USA. Here we are back in the land of highways, cars, stores, traffic, people, people everywhere. Unlimited cell service, data, wifi, texting and easy phone calls. Less then 2hrs after landing we were in a huge fancy Florida mall at an Apple store to get Tina’s laptop fixed. Kids got lucky with a robot class to join while we met with repairman. We have walls surrounding us, running water (we used a month’s worth on one round of showers and baths) and flushing toilets (“I get to put the toilet paper in the toilet!” Emma exclaims with glee). We have been treated with yummy food from Lorraine (ribs last night for Henry!) and visited a huge food store to pick out any kid of ice cream they wanted from the biggest wall of ice cream we’d seen. Yet we would trade it all for one more day sailing to a deserted harbor on Amel.
There is no sense in dwelling on the differences between life on land to life on a boat. They are just different. Benefits and challenges to both!
Tomorrow, we travel on the last leg of journey home finally to Carbondale, CO.
This afternoon we’ll go to the beach and pool to soak in as many hot sunny rays as we can!!
Fun Afloat
