Bolinas

I must confess that I am rather sad to leave Bolinas. My lovely, relaxing three night vacation up here is about to come to an end. It has been only my mom, my dog, and I, and we've all been enjoying some luscious relaxation together. I brought by sewing machine, I brought my novel, and I brought my spanking pink DS. I happily got a chance to play with all three. Every morning Eoin would jump on me to wake me up at about 7:30. I slept on the window seat bed, which is right next to a couch, and so Eoin was able to climb the couch in order to launch himself onto my face. It was a lovely way to wake up in the morning. He really is like a little kid who get's a kick out of teasing his older sister :P

It's not that I don't love aspects of living in a city. There's the great food, the interesting people, the easy access to tons of entertaining activities... But there is also something spectacular about a more rural place. In the country, nature runs wild. And for some reason when I'm in nature, I can't help but run wild myself.
