Camping, watching the fog dance above as if it were smoke on a vast cold ocean. The rhythmic sound, of the crushing Pacific tide, soothes my spirit; the little child in me comes to surface and is renewed by the holy waters. Grilling fish on an open fire, drinking wine as my head spins from the scent of the nearby Mendocino forest, I am again and again baptized by the beauty I know so well. At night in the tent, between the silk sheet and Yann's heartbeat I dream under a million stars.

Ahh, the memory of times I've camped on a beach with my husband, lulled by the Pacific tidal waves. Happiness.

That's my favorite too - listening to the waves of the Pacific next to my soul-mate. (We visit the Oregon coast occasionally)

Beach camping is a dream. My favorite places are around Bodega Bay and north. And, always, Big Sur. Beautiful and loving picture of you and Yann. Chelsea has your eye.

Corey,
I take sheets camping, but never Silk sheets, you are a wonder to behold. You have put me at Mendocino camping once again with family. What wonderful memories. Carolyn

What a feast of senses, the sound of the waves, the smell of the fish grilling and of the pines, the feel of the satin sheets - wonderful!
