So much waiting in traveling

[cosmolinguist]

In one way, the timing of our shuttle to the airport was a bit awkwardly early and has made for a long day today.

But in another way

• we were both awake in time to finish packing, have breakfast, and stroll around Castela de Fuste before we had to leave
• the shuttle was on time, comfy, and so well ventilated we could have a break from wearing masks
• the Fuerteventura airport is the nicest I've ever been to, we're waiting at an outdoor bar now so I'm chilling in the sun with a refresco same as I would've been if we'd been able to stay at the resort longer.

The combination of things, even stores, being able to stay more open-air and the need for more HVAC-type climate control has meant for a surprisingly unmasked-yet-unexcluded-from-society few days. I'm gonna miss that at least as much as the sunshine itself.

What a piece of before-pandemic living in the current era.

I'm so glad you got to relax protocol a bit
