I woke up a little before 6 and the Boys and I quietly tumbled out of the motorhome. I wanted to go up on the bench overlooking the ocean to catch the sunrise. It was truly a moment of Zen.
Janice made coffee and we sat outside in the beautiful campground. We watched the birds and Janice took some pictures of the flowers. Our host, Randy Webb, came over and we had a great conversation about the work we are doing with Umpqua Watersheds. We told him about the Umpqua Outback Project and he listened enthusiastically, and gave us some ideas about the stage and the mural. He is an architect and an artist. He and his wife Kim, , who had to fly back to Oregon for a couple weeks, have a very successful architectural business and it was interesting talking to him about their projects. We have become fast friends. It is quite amazing they live less than 2 hours away from us when they are home.
The groundkeepers daughter, Alexandria, is 6 years old and has been helping me with my Spanish. She is really sweet and I know she and my granddaughter, Alice, would have fun playing together.
