My Summer Highlights

 I finally made it to Ft. Bragg and here is the house that I stayed in.  The big windows on the second floor were from my room.  I shared with 3 other ladies who came and went at different times.  

 I think there were about 10 rooms and a big kitchen we could all use.  I'm glad I stayed here.  It was more like a home than a hotel would have been and it was fun to live with other students.

 On my walk to and from school everyday, I found the car of my dreams and all sorts of beautiful flowers growing in people's yards.

 The feeling of the town was kind of eery.  It was cold and rarely sunny.  I think there was a bit of a drug problem, too and most of the houses were run down with just a few nice homes mixed in.  

 The flowers were my favorite thing to look at, besides the beach.

Pacific Coast - Brr!

 I tried to go to the beach as much as possible.  I would run along a nice trail a few times a week and walk there on our days off if it was warm.  It was called Glass Beach.  That little white spot in the middle is a white seal.  

 Here is one of the sunny days and I still wished I had my coat.

This was the coast line in a city called Mendocino.  It was about a 15 minute drive from Ft. Bragg, so I only went there if someone offered a ride.  They had a nice grocery store we all liked to go to.  The beaches were very cliffy and the water was cold.  Not very inviting, but pretty.
