After a hot summer day, it’s nice to arrive at a new location in the cool of the evening.

Yes … enjoy the crisp breeze off the lake … watch the lights of a houseboat crawling by … get ready for the crowded display of stars above. Arriving late is OK.

Tortuga says: “Don’t stay up too late, though. You don’t want to miss the morning.”

And it’s true. Fresh home grown tomatoes, hungarian peppers, a little bacon tossed into an omelette … it’s not to be missed!

Tortuga approves … and we’ll stay here for awhile. In the Pacific Northwest, by the lake. Simple days.
