Most of you know that Sebastian spent the winter volunteering as the campground host at this oceanfront state park, which is comprised of ten cabins and campsites in a ravine a few miles south of Stinson Beach. In exchange for free rent in a solar-powered, waterfront house, he answered visitors' questions and
worked as a groundskeeper.
In February, I flew out to visit for a long weekend. I had been to the ravine with Sebastian before, but had never seen it so spectacularly in bloom. Lillies, sourgrass, and gorgeous unidentified purple flowers painted the hills and cliffs in a million colors. At sunset, the sky would transform into a bright orange or pink ombre. It was quiet and peaceful; I read a book in a couple of days.
At this point, Sebastian has returned to Brooklyn. We are very happy to have him back, but I hope he gets to return to that little house soon. Only this time, with me and Poppy in tow.
