The Sunsets are Back!

One of the best things about our apartment, Rai, is the view from the kitchen and back deck. From our position near the top of the hill, we can see the Ocean clearly over 5 or 6 blocks of rooftops. Just one floor lower, or just half a block down the hill and our view would be obstructed completely.
With Ocean views, come Ocean sunsets. Every day, we can see the sky change from blue to orange to red as the day comes to an end but can we actually see the sun itself, dipping below the horizon? Yes and no. As the Earth's position in relation to the sun changes over the course of the year, so does our view of the sunset. For half the year, we can't see the sun set as it is hidden behind the homes that sit even higher on the hill. In the Fall and Winter, however, the sunsets return!
About a month ago, after a summer of no sunsets from our deck, we saw our first sunset! Since then, the sun has continued to move south. Now that the sunsets are back, we find ourselves on the deck after dinner every day. And, now that the sun sets an hour earlier, you've been able to join us.
Yesterday, probably for the first time in your life, you were wide awake during the sunset so we strolled you down to Sutro Park to catch the end of it. Like watching the lights go out, you instinctively knew that when the sky went dark, it was time for bed. Back at home, you were out instantly.
