Airplanes and Sunshine

Let it be said that one of the most startling things is to wake up, turn to your side, and get an eyeful of the blue, blue ocean a thousand miles below you. And then, blinking in that blinding sunlight, there is another moment of startle when one looks at the clock to see it's only 1:00am. After all, the sun does indeed shine when it's early. . . go figure. Time change is a necessarily confusing thing, one that kept me traveling for a full 24 hours straight. The St. Paul airport started to feel like home after a while.

And this is the abrupt ending.
