Late Return

I returned from the tropics late last night. I had planned to be back around noon, and I know C. was eagerly waiting to pick me up at the airport, but no, my flight was delayed. At a quarter to five in the morning, as I prepared to roll myself out of bed, I got a message notifying me that my flight out of Merida was delayed because of crew's rest times. After confirming this, I took a quick shower, then went back to bed and slept an extra two welcome hours. Unfortunately this meant I couldn't make my connecting flight from Houston. I got checked into a later flight instead, for which I had to wait six hours at the airport of Houston! Nothing to say about that. And I thus lost an extra day of work, because I couldn't get my wireless internet connection working while I was waiting. But I did finish Isabel Allende's Daughter of Fortune. And I quite enjoyed it, especially reading about the birth of California during the brief, but intense, gold rush, and the beginnings of the cities of San Fransisco and Sacramento.
