Islands in the Sun

In my very first blog entry ever I wrote a list of 100 things to do for inspiration.

I've caught myself referencing a lot lately, but tonight #2 really got me going...

#2: "Discover a new island oasis to travel to"

I mean, who doesn't like to fantasize about going to awesome,

secluded islands full of sunshine and nature???

It just so happens that I ran across this strangely fascinating island

that is easily a stone mason's dream to visit.

And with a last name like Steinhaus - stone house in German -

I am pretty drawn to it too.

Home On The Rocks

Here is a blog about a stone mason's trip to this place..

Blogs rule! Write more blogs people! This is good stuff.

This is where he stayed :)

A nice pool overlooking the airstrip and tiny town...

Looks pretty inviting...

Who knows?

Anything is possible.

Sun Diego

What a wonderful weekend in San Diego - so blessed to be here and able to enjoy sunshine in January.

Was able to sight the spouts and a tail of a couple gray whales less than 200 yards off the coast today.

Pretty awe struck as I have been wanting to catch them during this winter migration and am stoked to think it was maybe a mama and her baby, or a couple of kids out there playing.

They didn't seem too big, but I was in a car driving along the coast, so it was hard to tell. I doubt the water is that deep being so close to the shore, which adds to my assumption that they were calves.

I hear they are migrating in record numbers around Point Loma - the peninsula shown below.

The island in the harbor is called Coronado.
