Home again, home again
We got home last night from our trip, and boy am I glad to be here. I'm not doing a lot today besides mundane tasks like laundry, but at least I'm doing them in the comfort of my own home.
Honduras is a sensible country which does not use Daylight Savings Time, so I was used to it being light by 6am and dark again by 5:30 or 6pm. This morning it was still dark here at 6:30 when I went out in search of breakfast; have I mentioned lately how much I hate *$&#% DST? It makes no sense, and only serves to confuse people and circadian rhythms.
My head and sinuses are still congested, which isn't good, but at least it confirms that I did the right thing by not diving this past week. The pressure caused by being underwater can cause real problems if you dive with a head cold. Unfortunately this means I still won't be able to dive for another couple weeks, minimum. Guess I'll be working topside at the Steinhart Aquarium instead :(
Lest I forget, I did upload some photos from our trip. This bat caught in mid-sip is my favourite:
