The fog is *not* driving us away but we do have to move along this morning, sad to say. We will still be along the coast for the most part, so the sights will not disappoint I'm sure of that.
We've certainly enjoyed this time in Crescent City, California (I'm letting you off the hook for the guessing game), exploring the *land of the giants* as Arend likes to refer to it. Jed Smith National Park was beyond my wildest epectations in terms of seeing, smelling and touching those magnificent redwoods. I believe at last count, Arend had taken over 150 pics during our walks among those mighty trees. We stopped at a shop along the road, where they make all kinds of items made from the local woods and the pics I'll show you today will just be a sample.
I loved the vegetation, the burrels (not sure of this spelling) on the sides of the trees, the hollows in the still-standing *older* growth--I loved it all. The best part though was watching Arend with his camera, and listening to him talking about those redwoods--he was like a kid in a giant candy store. I'm sure, if he could, he would have bundled one of those trees up and taken it home with him. I hope the pics I post here will do them at least some justice.
We had a good rest here too in our extra large room with a view. I guess I *could* live here, but my heart would always be at home so I won't be staying--grin!
I miss everyone back home and posting this Blog just makes me think about all of you so know that you're ALL on my mind as we travel and enjoy. It's fun being *away* but the sweetest will be the *homecoming*.
Stay tuned--you won't want to miss these next days on California's coast, with us.
As always, I'm wishing you and *yours* a wonderful day and thanks for sharing your comments. Blessings, Barb
