We leave Puerto Escondido tonight on an overnight bus back to Oaxaca. I got the date/day wrong and this whole time thought we left TOMORROW night. Thank goodness I caught it this AM,, but we’d promised the boys a “sleepover party” tonight- letting them stay in the separate bedroom that was supposed to be Griffin’s, though ultimately he didn’t like sleeping apart from the family and slept on the living room couch instead. We were gonna get them a 6-pack of soda, and let them stay up as late as they wanted to together. Needless to say, everyone’s disappointed. This place has been so magical: from the beach five minutes away, to the pool ten steps outside our door, plus the super friendly neighbors on all sides, including one who gave us swordfish from his fishing trip. It’s also the last stop of our trip before I have the intense residency with all the concerts and rehearsals and engagements in Mérida. I’ve been sick a lot here, though, so I’m really hoping that at least that part improves, because it really feels bad to leave your partner to the homeschooling all by themselves. I will be doing that to him a lot at the next stop, so I’m in particular feeling it here.
