Our Winged Friends
Here we are at the Cleveland airport while our plane circles for landing.On Sunday morning we ventured out to the Buffalo airport and flew to Cleveland, where we caught a paper airplane to Houston (see photo). We boarded the 7pm flight to Merida (which was overbooked, and offering $300 credits to any takers who could waste a day in Mexico City, instead). We arrived just weeks after the hummingbirds which had been feeding at our feeders over the summer in Buffalo. The flight departed Buffalo at 10:30am — a very civilized time to fly. We got to the casita we've again rented by 10:30pm, after a quick pass through customs (we hadn't checked any bags) and picking up our rental vehicle; we lost about 10 minutes after making a wrong turn, but Merida at night is very laid back and gentle.
We're here for two weeks, and have appointments to look at a few homes, for wintering in Yucatan like other birds of our feather. Buffalo was forecasting a high of 48ºF for today, while Merida is expecting 84º. 'Nuff said.
