Today it begins. Memorial Day weekend is typically the start of the summer tourist season here in Big Sur. The day is sunny and beautiful and the gorgeous weather is predicted to continue all weekend.

Just a reminder (to myself, as much as to others), be patient, be kind, and pay attention on the road. One of my friends used to say that some tourists took their common sense, put it in the dresser drawer, and locked it up for safe-keeping until they got home.

I’ll be out and about to see what is happening on our fair coast today, pretending to be a tourist. 😉 Enjoy this wonderful long weekend, where ever you are!
