This week millions looked to the sky to watch the solar eclipse and gasp in amazement at the cosmic event. Last October Bacalar was in the totality of a solar eclipse. We watched through a crystalline sky in awe from our own roof! I cried.
During the last five weeks, Lisa and I were blessed to travel across Europe to London, Amsterdam, Paris, Munich and Salzburg. Talk about awe!
When we returned to Mexico, I realized that my eyes needed a rest. For weeks I had lived and traveled in awe, staring at art, domed ceilings, gold leaf paintings, castles and towering mountains. There were so many flowers, sculptures, vistas and even caves. My eyes were perpetually wide open trying to take it all in.
We have returned home to our very beautiful Bacalar, Mexico. I think that the daily awe and wonder of living anywhere, starts to wear off eventually and becomes the usual and ordinary. Perhaps that’s why we travel, to see the world with eyes wide open and appreciate home when we return.
I strive everyday to be grateful and pay attention to the beauty that surrounds me. This week it was hard to get out of my hammock. Still feeling jet lagged, I made big salads, hugged my dogs and gave my eyes a rest.

The one in October was truly a spectacle. This week was far less so but still really great. 😎

I cried during the eclipse a few weeks ago also. I didn’t get to see it from my rooftop. I had to drive across New Mexico and about 40% of Texas to be able to see it. Worth it!
