It was the ideal road trip: four good friends, perfect weather, eye-popping scenery, good conversation, splendid music (including U2, ColdPlay and Phillip Glass, with frequent requests for "Puff the Magic Dragon" from our youngest rider). This photo was taken from Highway One north of Mendocino. If you've never taken this road before, put it on your lifetime to-do list.
And thank you, readers, for all the interesting posts.
Because the above describes some
ReplyDeleteright-brained experiences and
after being accused of being a
right-brained moron in an earlier
post I will include some of my
own from a vacation in the
Copper Country.
Trolling for chinook salmon on
Lake Superior at daybreak, lake
smooth as glass, watching a
magnificent sunrise.
On a crystal clear night around
a beach bonfire with family and
friends watching the flickering
green northern light display.
On a similar night , lying flat
on a beach blanket, marvelling
at the vastness of the Milky
Way Galaxy, one of the numberless
in the universe.
Watching 2 bald eagles swooping
for fish guts on the beach. Talk
about a miraculous recovery!
And the list goes on.
P.S.
It is obvious from the comments
on this site that women
predominantly use the right brain
while men the left. Ask any
married man!
P.P.S.
U-2,Cold Play,etc.?
Our generations are miles apart!
Right, left, whatever! I enjoyed your reveries. Tomorrow we're going camping (far from the hydroplanes and BLue Angels, which as I type are roaring over our roof). Once past the hurdle of packing and driving there is the incomparable payoff: nights full of stars, campfire mornings, meandering hikes.
