Big Sur

It's been a strange Summer. Not necessarily the one I expected, or wanted, but the one I needed. 

Work on ERMIE has been sporadic at best, but new things will be coming to the shop, soon. 

I am finally feeling more energized, and have many new ideas that I cant wait to execute. 

Above, photos from a restorative trip to Big Sur. Breaks are important, spending time with your loved ones is important. A pause, a retreat, will ultimately make you more productive. 

We stayed in a beautiful hand-built house closer to Carmel in a canyon filled with Redwoods and deer. Had incredible massages and soaked in the hot springs at Esalen...ate an amazing supper at the Big Sur Bakery (one of my all-time favorite restaurants). We read, played guitar, slept in a yurt, saw the spiral arms of the Milky Way, hiked in Garrapata Park...enjoyed every moment. 

I hope your Summer has been the one you needed, too.
