Family

Russ' brother Donn with Jazmine and Jonathon traveled up to see us.  I think I am still full from all the food eaten in the last two days!  So great to see them and catch up on all the family happenings.  Donn even squeezed in time to ride a few waves.  Even tho' the waves are just bumps compared to the ones he catches in Fiji.

Fisker Karma - now THAT'S a hybrid

We drove alongside this beauty on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu yesterday.  Russ said it might be the only hybrid he would consider driving.   I do believe he has been spotted in Gualala, driving my Prius, but he would deny it!

It is a Fisker Karma, a luxury sports sedan that is also a plug-in hybrid.   It is made by Fisker in Finland and started arriving in the US last fall.  A bit pricey - over $100K - take a looooong time to make that up in miles per gallon. 

Seen around town...

Driving around (lost again, but I tell Russ we are "exploring") and spotted this fence made of surfboards.  The retro lawn glider just invites you to sit and watch the neighborhood doings.  There are a lot of charming Victorian homes, mixed in with spanish tile roofed houses, alongside beach style craftsmans. 

On our way again

Hi everyone! We finally got underway, have travelled down the coast to the Ventura RV Park, on the edge of Highway One. ...right on the edge! The cars and trucks are a mere 200 feet away. This stretch, known as The Screaming Eagles Highway, resembles a high speed raceway at all hours of the day. Earplugs are the costume de riguer! The dogs, Holly & Riley, adore this park with it's abundant grass, seagulls, and marshy smells. We have a day to do basic RV maintenance, and household organization, then get down to the serious business of shopping and searching for new places to eat!!
