Kittens and opinions are being given away

After a few days of wearing long sleeved jerseys and dreading winter, I packed my bags and headed south to extend the summer. The weather was perfect and the beaches were deserted. The flat wide open trails were mostly sand covered with pine needles, providing lots of traction. The ferns, palms and magnolias were large and covered with epiphytes and bromeliads. Unfortunately it was a no-dog beach so this is as close as Fausto got. He was pissed.Chula put her j-school mafia connections to use hitting up a local food writer for the low-down on the best fish tacos and fish shacks. We would never have found them without the tips. Here is a picture of a salad while camping. Yes, BH, I am a hippie.

In other news, while we were gone either the person watching our cat or some other folks who were crashing at our house left these little gems. I have only found three but have been cleaning the house looking for the entire deck. Chula: "Why are you cleaning?" Me: "Just trying to help, honey."
