The Sun Sets on New Smyrna Beach

The entire earth, all its continents, oceans and all that inhabit them, have completely carouseled in space a total of six times since we arrived here. You'd think such vast movement would take a much longer time than it has. So here we are seeing the sun set on New Smyrna Beach for our last time.

A last shot of the beach.

We were up to see the sunrise this morning again and it rose into a cloudless sky which remained thus all day. A two mile morning excursion to Edgewater, to visit a seller of citrus products, did not yield the desired selection of marmalades. They sold only the actual fruit which we find does not tough out the journey home all that well. Will we succeed in getting a marmalade supply before we leave Florida tomorrow? Or will we have to face a year of Provigo-purchased products on our toast? Stay tuned. Tomorrow will tell.

This afternoon was our final opportunity for beach-sitting and reading, and you can believe we took it. The Comedy of Errors has been completed and I recommend it.

A long road awaits us.

P.S.
After writing the above, Carol turned on the 6:30 PM TV news which announced a rocket was about to be launched from Cape Canaveral at 6:38. That being about 45 miles south of us we hurried down to the beach to see it. A sudden bright flash on the horizon identified the spot and we watched the rocket climb until it was out of sight - an interesting conclusion to our week here.
