It wasn't one of my better night sleeps. Perhaps it was in a foreign space, the dementia-pedic "memory" foam mattress, heat, outside no uses, inside noises, or inner voices. They all kept me up sporadically. It's to be expected. Lauren liked the place. I had a few complaints, but I appreciate the relative value that comes from accepting compromise. The prior renter apparently used the wood-burning fireplace, which reeked of "campfire" smoke. It was not something I mind in the right environment, which this was not. Still, after raising the concerns, they graciously refunded night two. We decided that wine tasting is not Lauren's thing (she did, that is), so we opted to head back so Lauren could get more "Lucky" time to see Grandma. Spent time with family, driving up in the am with a train to catch as the goal. I am glad we did so. We drove to Morro Rock and walked out and around to the back, as far as allowed. We returned to Paso to gather our things and decided that going up 1 to Carmel through Big Sur would be an excellent alternative to 101. With a 100% charge, all looked completely doable, yet we found the roads closed, and we had to turn back along the way. The nice thing is that we had nowhere else pressing to be and just rolled with it, back through Paso, end up at 101. We took takeout to my Mom's (Aqui), visited awhile and returned to Pano. Jen & Tommy had a great evening out of Devine and returned with leftovers. Jen Lauren and I played Uno "the right way," which was quite a long game. Scottie has been having increasing difficulty and issues with his left rear leg. We have to make accommodations to ensure he doesn't jump or spin, which is so habitual for him. Its harder for us than it seems for him to have this issue anse.
