Life is good

Our friends, Terry and her daughter Shannon from Modesto, came to stay with us for the week end. It was good for Ben and Eva to have a friend to play with. The three of them had a blast at the beach making up all kind of stories while Bill was enjoying some reading about seashore life. During that time Terry and I were in town enjoying some shopping and some "raw vegan" lunch.

It has been a very pleasurable week end but as all good things must come to an end (wait a minute, I don’t really like that saying... it’s not always true) they left this morning after we took a walk through Mendocino and a lunch at the beach.

I think that I’m falling in love with this part of California. It is so green and wild flowers are growing everywhere. My favorite little town is Mendocino. It has a strong feel of community, uniqueness, health and nature consciousness and creativity... a lot of artists are living there. You won’t find any big chains in the town and they have no parking structures or even lines on the asphalt. I think I could live around here. It’s the first time I say that about an other place than San Diego and maybe it won’t be the last... really, we are just starting our trip, there is so much more to see. What is your ideal place to live?
