A tear and a smile

It is with amazement, confusion and surprise that today it has to be realized that the Fuso Szulc is going to leave its location in the dry riverbed of Punta Boca del Salado, Mexico.
The place where the last five months were spend.
Next to the Sea of Cortez and the rancho of the Gonzales family.

The reason is British Airways.
They fly on March 31 from Los Angeles to Amsterdam and a seat is booked for that flight.
In order to catch that flight, Punta Boca del Salado must be left pronto.

Retrospecting is slicing the heart into two.
One part is happy and excited to leave.
To face new adventures.
To meet family and friends.
To get into new situations.
To boost the work on the market.

But the other part is sad to leave the dear members of the Gonzales family behind.
To know that the dogs will see the comfort level of their lives go down drastically.
To leave the healthy, peaceful and harmonious life behind.

Those competing emotions are the best one can have when leaving a place and persons.
If it was only happiness for leaving, the departing situation has not been one good for life.
One must cry when leaving otherwise something has not been done well.
And one must be happy and excited to depart for a new destination because why otherwise go there?

The encampment has been broken up.
Everything is stored safely inside the cargo spaces of the Fuso Szulc.
Two weeks of constant travelling are now on the program.
With a tear and a smile.
