Dear Joline, thank you for sharing this beauty surrounding you, and also your insights. Like Kathleen said, you are taking us with you. The small tent is a gem. Simplicity of place and life does bring up what matters most. I wish you a wonderful time for the remaining days. Love and bisous.

Ann, I didn’t notice until you mentioned it that my hair melded with the trees in that photo! Kind of like one of my crazy hats. Lots of love to you too and see you on the 20th.

Thank you Cindy. I sure wish the gun situation were in better control in the USA.

Wow, once again, I feel like I just joined you in your trip! I loved every moment of it, and I didn't have to walk those 10 miles...probably would have been too much for me! The wildflowers are breathtaking, your glamping tent is so elegant and cozy, and I was thrilled to see the wild flamingos, something I've never seen before either. And thank you for the video of the wild beach and those lovely waves! I feel the call of the sea, and luckily I am going to Maine in July! The picture of you does seem to me to show the way the land and the sea and the solitary time in nature have seeped into your soul. I love hearing what's coming up for you as you rested this week. Thanks so much Joline for sharing your journey with us. Love, Kathleen

The flamingos were easy to spot. I am curious about the glamping. It looks lovely. Were there nearby toilets and showers?

There were toilets and showers that were not fancy but very clean but they were about a quarter mile away. Fortunately I am blessed to still have a pretty strong bladder.

I'd have had to do lots of walking. Old man walking.
