Great pic of Kathy; and that heart in the sand brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my heart.

First another photo of Kathy, then our kitchen facilities.

It is really fun to make great food with whatever facilities one has at hand - adapting, adjusting and enjoying

The stove top was integrated with the sink

The little toaster oven did a great job of roasting fresh asparagus. We had the asparagus on the first night with some wonderful sauteed red rockfish fillets that had been marinated in tequila and margarita mix

We have come to enjoy having our own kitchen, for taste reasons as well as health reasons, that we have 12 of our 16 nights of reservations on the Yucatan Peninsula in December at places where we will have kitchenettes.

Views from our cabin

It was a very small but neat place. The owners lived down the lane, having retired there 16 years earlier from California. The cabin was builit in the 1920's and totally redone a few years ago. A entry room that served as the kitchen and sitting room, a bathroom and bedroom. It had a TV that got 5 Canadian stations out of Vancouver. We did not turn it on much, relying on our iPod and speakers and each other for entertainment.

The deck had more square feet than the cabin, I think, but we enjoyed it and would stay there again. Bill, the husband of the owner couple left us some wonderful brownies.

Here are some more photos of the place - the deck

The bed

The views

It was lovely, but chilly. Highs in the mid to high 40's Farenheit

Perfect hiking weather!! Someday, I will make it out to the Pacific Northwest. I'd love to do lots of hiking and kayaking out your way. The farthest north I've made it is Point Reyes & Bodega Bay in CA....I have a friend in Seattle that I've promised to visit over and over...unfortunately we've lost touch. I also have a friend in Bend. So, I have no excuses for not making my way out there.

Iceberg Point

Gorgeous place

Protected area of extreme environmental concern

Some close ups of growth on the rocks
