I camped here last week after the holiday crowds left — right on the beach. Falling asleep under a blanket of stars, soothed by songs of surf, seagulls, and even a gentle rain plop plopping on the tent one night; following the graceful movements of pelicans and seals, reclining in the shade of a cave carved by the elements into the cliffs, sunning and swimming. I hope you all are enjoying these last days of summer.
