AN HOUR AND SOME CHANGE NORTH OF SAN FRANCISCO, YOU’LL FIND YOURSELF IN A STORYBOOK. NATURALLY I SAY TO MYSELF “SELF YOU NEED TO LIVE HERE”. NOT MOVE BUT LIVE HERE IN THE MOMENT. SPONTANEOUSLY YOU DEEP BREATHE AND NOTICE LITTLE BLACK BIRDS WITH CARDINAL RED RACING STRIPES HANGING ONTO REEDS AND THE VINES ON THE HILLS REMINDS YOU WHERE IT ALL BEGINS. DOWNTOWN SONOMA YOU CAN CUT THE SQUARE BY WALKING THROUGH THE PARK AND BEING ON THE OTHER SIDE IN 5 MINUTES. IT’S THIS FEELING YOU TAKE WITH YOU THAT I LOVE WHICH INCLUDE A DAILY JAUNT AT A NATURE PRESERVE WHERE THOSE BIRDS SAID HELLO TO MY SOUL. THANK YOU CYNTHIA AND PETALUMA.

10 DAYS OBSERVATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: COMPLEX LANGUAGE WITH 16 LETTER LAST NAMES. THIS ISLAND IS FOR LOVERS. WHY MIGHT YOU ASK! BECAUSE GEOTHERMICLY HOT SPRINGS ROMANTICALLY ENTICE COUPLES TO EMBRACE IN SULFUR LADEN MINERAL WATERS OF GLACIER BLUE AND TEAL. AN APHRODISIAC OF THE SENSES. THE CRISP WINDS FORCES ONE TO HOLD ON TO ANOTHER IN A QUEST FOR SURVIVAl…. NOT REALLY JUST SOUNDS NICE. HAVE THE RIGHT GEAR SINCE WEATHER’S NIBLE MIND CHANGES OFTEN. CANDLELIGHT IS FAVORED AT MOST RESTAURANTS HOTELS AND HOSTELS. VERY FEW POLICE ROAMING THE COUNTRYSIDE SO YOU CAN GET NAUGHTY IN BACK OF YOUR RENTED KIA IF THE MOOD STRIKES. THE LANDSCAPES SO MAJESTIC BUT NOT INTRUSIVE. AS YOU GAZE UPON IT YOU FEEL BLESS BLESS WHICH TRANSLATES TO BYE BYE.
