We arrived at Foum Assaka, the mouth of the Assaka River, to find a beach community under construction, not uncommon in Morocco. We threaded through the streets until the car could go no further, then parked in a pullout. This is the entrance to “Le Rayon Vert,” the Green Flash. I guess you can seeContinue reading “Surprises at the end of the road”

What do we do here?
If you wonder how I manage to spend four months in Peru, here is how some of my days go. Coffee–fortunately, Jonathan gets up before I do and brings me a cup at 8 am. I get up, get dressed and eat breakfast while reading the New York Times on line. I subscribe to theContinue reading “What do we do here?”

Mendocino/Cabot Cove?
We walked along the beach and took photos of the town. Tonight we watched the intro to an episode of “Murder, She Wrote”, now that we know it was filmed in Mendocino, not a town in Maine. Many of the buildings look the same now as they did when the series was playing, 1984-1996. WeContinue reading “Mendocino/Cabot Cove?”

Not too far before the turnoff for the park we came up to a field and found peopleContinue reading “Sinkyone Wilderness State Park and other places, July 22, 2015”
Making lemonade from a lemon of a day July 10, 2015
Getting an injection in your eye is not as bad as it sounds–I have started getting Eyelea in my right eye as a treatment for the wet form of macular degeneration. It’s not the shot that was a pain, but the insurance authorization. It was a big hassle to get my insurance coverage shifted fromContinue reading “Making lemonade from a lemon of a day July 10, 2015”
More unrequited fishing and Abalone, July 7, 2015
We decided to try fishing again, this time at Caspar Headlands, a place we’ve driven past. Reading about this area we found that a temporary pass is required, so we stopped by the Headquarters Building on the East side of Route 1 at Russian Gulch and were able to collect the required paper. Caspar HeadlandsContinue reading “More unrequited fishing and Abalone, July 7, 2015”
