river sounds.
Sunday afternoons
in Big Sur, in summer,
with friends.

It is hard to take time for friends and myself, right now, but it is important, none-the-less. Last Sunday, I took the time, and spent the afternoon at River Inn, having lunch, enjoying music, and the company of friends. This Sunday, it is work, work, and more work.

Monday, I am meeting with a reporter from USAToday for a travel piece. Why me? I don’t have a clue, other than she likes my blog and my photographs.

  • Please let me know when your piece runs in USA Today. We get that paper daily at the hotel where I work and I'd love to read it. Congratulations on catching USA's eye. Obviously they know quality when they see it!
