I left for Australia on November 30 and returned to San Miguel today.
Though I love being with Taly, my home and my activities, and not least, my dog are all in San Miguel, and I have always had a hard time being away from home for extended periods.
That said, there is a lot to like in Byron Bay: It is a totally different climate being right on the Pacific Ocean; humidity is high, and the salt air is such that I almost believe that even plastics can rust. Anything with steel in it is subject to massive corrosion.
Though we have some friends in the area with whom we socialize, and whose company we enjoy, I have been spending a good deal of my time away performing a major upgrade on the Woodworkers’ Guild website.
There were some parties thrown by people Taly knows in Byron shire, and I had an opportunity to meet some truly fascinating people.
I have been home for almost two months now, and though I did enjoy much of Australia, I am very happy to be home.
