The light at both dawn and dusk was pretty spectacular. If I could get up in time, which I could mostly, I'd get a brew on and watch the sunrise at 7 am with Roy - a fully paid-up member of 'El Club de Toby', with reference to the cartoon La pequeña Lulú or Little Lulu. Translating that to Zipolite would be the Canadian Old Boys Club, with reference to more than a few Canadians who come here to see out the northern winter.
Sunset was at 6 pm. So at 5ish, Roy would be there with his coffee and I'd be there with my beer and we'd see out another day:
