This has been one of the best birding trips we have ever taken. The people on the Yucatan peninsula have been very friendly and welcoming. They left us alone for the most part. Robert and I added so many new Life Birds to our Life List that we had never seen before. Mexico will always be at the top of our list of places to bird.
We touched down in Memphis, Tennessee around 5pm and got the sad news that our 17 year old dog, Rocky, was at the Emergency Animal Hospital having constant seizures. We rushed to the hospital where we saw Rocky for one last time before he died. We were able to be with him and comfort him as Rocky was put to sleep by the Vet. We will miss Rocky a lot.
