Another day of walk-walk-walking in #oaxaca !! Chu Another day of walk-walk-walking in #oaxaca !! Churches, art galleries, trendy clothing shops, souvenir shops, a rug store, and the Museu Textil de Oaxaca. Fabulous restaurant in a courtyard garden similar to my Oaxaca home. (I had grilled pulpo in a mild chipotle sauce. More tacos, of course. And a mezcal. There were park walks and art shows. Families, yes, in the parks and in the squares on a sunny Sunday. I love Oaxaca.

I’ve got a cute and spacious little apartment and everyone who works here is very helpful and kind. The hotel is women-owned. They put a lot of emphasis on being green/saving energy. Off to a great start!

I think you’ll agree, the winding little courtyard gardens are pretty special.

The Peter Iredale shipwreck at Oregon’s Fort Ste The Peter Iredale shipwreck at Oregon’s Fort Stevens State Park is always great fun to visit. The ship ran ashore in 1906 on its way to the Columbia River.

The ship had 4 masts, and it’s steel skeleton kind of comes and go with the tides and sand movement. It’s one of those places I love to take #outoftowners to see!

Thanks Visit Long Beach Washington and Fill it Fo Thanks Visit Long Beach  Washington and Fill it Forward! Lovin’ my handy-dandy new water bottle from @fillitforward ! I’m barely without my water bottle. But using this little vessel prompts Fill It Forward to make a donation to some fabulous global causes. Every time I fill it up, I scan the @longbeachwa QR CODE on the bottle and Fill It Forward donates to one of 360+ (at the current count) projects. They donate to clean water infrastructure, food programs, reforestation projects, and more. They make the donations from product sales and corporate partnerships. I’ll take it!

Throwback Thursday joy! I had a day on my own in A Throwback Thursday joy! I had a day on my own in Anchorage before meeting up with my friend Carol.

I spend my a good part of the day at the Alaska Native Heritage Center and the Anchorage Museum. I can’t imagine a better introduction to Alaskan history and culture. Most of the rest of the trip was spent hiking, kayaking, and immersing ourselves in the natural beauty of our 50th state. But that first day and these two centers really set the tone for me.

I aimed toward a public walkway between two houses that back to the Cove neighborhood. And here, a painted rock garden seems to be growing full throttle. I have no idea who started it or how long it’s been growing. But I had fun exploring it!

Oh yes … and then there was this sunset. Each and every one is different.

The Depot Restaurant is a long-time favorite to Lo The Depot Restaurant is a long-time favorite to Long Beach Peninsula residents and visitors alike. This casual, fine dining spot is certainly on my don’t-miss list. 
.
The building goes back 130 years, as the Clamshell Railroad Train Station. Chef Jamie Gisby took over in the kitchen after years as sous chef, keeping many favs and displaying his own spin as well. The wine list has always been superb, but they’re serving cocktails now too. The staff are all wonderful. Pro tip: save room for dessert!
.
My meal? A Spanish style tomato gazpacho. Blackened tuna tacos. And the house special that night; pan-seared lingcod with porcini mushroom cream sauce, rice pilaf and seasonal veggies. 
.
Burger Nights were always popular at the restaurant and now you can get them anytime at the Depot Gourmet Burger food cart in the SandbarFood Court.

A little wellness getaway in Long Beach Peninsula A little wellness getaway in Long Beach Peninsula turned out to be pretty transcendent. Jenelle’s vinyasa flow yoga and sound bath offerings and Michelle’s yin yoga and meditation, breath work and aerial yoga classes were wonderful. Michelle Svendsen’s Inspired Mind Matters wellness studio was everything I could have hoped for in a little me-time! 
.
🧘‍♀️
The studio also offers cold plunge therapy, personal coaching, Mini & Me Mindful Movement classes, and yes, more.

Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula is one of my favorite places, and I return again and again.

Most of the time, taking care of myself is found i Most of the time, taking care of myself is found in the everyday. So when I do take some “official” wellness time, it has to incorporate fun. And I SO had fun trying out AERIAL YOGA with Michelle at her wellness studio, Inspired Mind Matters in Long Beach, Washington.

Stretching, bending, joint relief, freeing, and so much flipping FUN!!
