Day 6

We had a nice, easy day today. The weather was a little cooler, which helped.
We're enjoying a book, The Passage, which we're not far enough into for me to recommend, but which seems promising as a suspense novel. It is so nice just sitting outside, under a tree, enjoying a book or a good crochet project. It is, in some ways, so reminiscent of my summer in Mexico City--except this time everyone is emotionally stable and happy--and Daniel is here--which is much better than the summer in Mexico City. Anyways. Check out the size of this tree!
We visited the experimental rose garden, which is right next to the Japanese garden on the west side of town. So many different colors and variations of roses--you can't imagine. Beautiful, colorful, and fragrant--we really enjoyed it. The bus driver who transported us to and from the rose garden was as much tour-guide as bus-driver. It was so neat! He's the only one we've encountered that just volunteers random facts about the things we're passing. He seemed to enjoy providing that, and we enjoyed hearing it!

I have to add this. One of the B&B owners is a really delightful, personable conversationalist named Dusty--and we didn't meet him until tonight. He went on and on and ON about Daniel's obvious, God-given, naturally magnificent voice, and how he was shocked no one so far had insisted that he give voice-overs a serious consideration. He must have brought it up 5 times in the course of a 20-minute conversation, and he didn't seem to be intoxicated. In fact, he used to own a theater in San Francisco. So now Daniel's thinking about it. He does have a great voice--I agree with him on that.
