February 26, 2003:
"Shirt and shoes required."
--Sign on restaurant doors.

The color of the sun is warmer, more vibrantly red-gold. The green of the hills a stronger green; the sky more purely blue.

10pm, evening at the end of February. Warm. People in shirt sleeves, seated outdoors around festively-colored patios.

The people are beautiful, jaw-dropping.

End to exile? Lord, let it be.
