January 4, 2012. Playa Royale, Mexico. The Sunset.

Every day the sun comes up and every day the sun goes down..  You would think that if you saw the sunset every evening it would be boring.  Just the big  round red ball sinking down below the edge of the Pacific Ocean.   But there are several things that make it  not boring.

The first thing to notice is that every time the sun goes down,  the scene is different.  The clouds are in a different position and the winds are too,  so the picture you see, every evening, is not the same one you saw yesterday.  It is like looking at another painting, every evening.

The next aspect that makes the scene interesting is the facts involved.  It looks as if the sun is leaving us but in truth, we are leaving the sun.  And today, the sun is in just a tad different position than yesterday or last week, so we must figure out what is really happening out there in space.

And  finally,  the sunset food prepared by Ken and brought out to the balcony is always different,  nourishing and interesting.  Sometimes, the food is the best part of the sunset.
