Waves crash against the shore drowning out most other noises. We are separated from the ocean by the pool and a small strip of sand. View of the ocean is amazing from up on the third floor. I watched as light of the sun began to illuminate the darkness and it appeared from the […]
Farmer Boys / Breakfast Burgers & More
I remember the orange groves and the green leafy vegetables. When I was a kid we drove through Escondido to get to the Wild Animal Park. Out the car window fruits and veggies grew in perfect rows. It was peaceful and there were few people around. Visiting Farmer Boys for a late lunch I marveled […]
