This week finds me starting one of those fantastic vacations where I first arrived at my destination and thought, “Wow, I get to stay here for (fill-in-the-blank number) days?”. I’m enjoying misty mornings and sunny days in Carmel, CA this week. Geared up with binoculars to spot sea otters and the occasional whale in the ocean below, I look forward to sharing my adventures with you.
