About 1400 miles... give or take...

Some of my favorite shots of our "holiday" (actually a trip of necessity for Lel to appear in person at the French Consulate for her visa, but hey, why not have a lovely time along the way, right?!) I felt homesick for the first time in many a year.

Spitting soon turned to pouring rain, and so gorgeous!



Busy city, but no worries thanks to GPS!

Tina, Tom and Tana, our hosts, and 3 of the sweetest people in the world.


Tom's front walkway... only in California!

"Bird of Paradise" just like my dad's.

Sweet Eucalyptus trees lining the highways.

A fab antique shop along the way. Bit over priced however!!

For only $3700. this beautiful alter piece could be yours! Was beautifully painted, so soft and serene.

Sea grass and footprints leading to the shore.

Foggy at first, the sky soon cleared and it was absolutely gorgeous!

Ah well... it was lovely.. now home, and Lel's ready to go. I'll post more on her later.
