We were about to begin our travels and so the bags were packed by the door and the car took us to the airport where Suzanne read Ben played with his iPod and I watched Suzanne as our flight was called and lunch was served on the plane. When we landed, Jane was waiting for us at the airport having flown from Memphis and so we gathered and waited for the courtesy van to take us to Fox Rental Car where we picked up our PT Cruiser and drove to the Enchanted Cottage where this was the family room with the healing crystals and our bed room and bath (with the minimalist shower) and the painted floor adorning the kitchen as we looked at some of the food that had been left for us. the view to the family room the various storage cupboards and the hallway clock before admiring the sunflowers and the other bed rooms. Ben settled for a moment as Suzanne posed with Luz and bade her farewell as we understood the rules of the house and began to dig into the food that had been left for us and then we opened the back gate and brought in the bags.

Having sufficiently eaten at the house, it was time to go out in search of dinner and so we passed this dog related sign at our local Independence Day related corner and went past the doggie delicatessen to meet Zel's grandson who kept the restaurant going and after getting our menus Jane Ben Suzanne Ben on the retake and I were happy to order some wine and the trio of appetizers (a veritable escabeche) which stood up to wine as Ben got his best burger in Del Mar Suzanne and Jane shared their salads and I had this pizza before the tuna based salad came and we enjoyed the warmth of the fire as we waited for Dick and Fran to join us which was an impressive feat since we were not able to provide accurate directions. Once they arrived, we took our kitchen photos -- of the 6 of us and then with the owner who was probably disappointed that we didn't come back for brunch.
