Hibiscus


Today was a quiet day of walking, looking in shops (one has a sign that says Conchita's Curios on one side, and Conchita's Curious on the other), going to the Latte Cafe, and relaxing at the Inn. It was built as a family home in 1916, and turned into an Inn just 3 years ago. It has generous common spaces to relax, a covered outdoor kitchen, a garden with a hammock, and a patio sheltered by the wind, that catches the late afternoon sun. There are flowering shrubs, cactus, vines, a lime tree that rains limes when it's windy, and a fig tree. The resident dog, Isabella, welcomes everyone, while the cat, Banshee, rarely makes an appearance; he's half Siamese and half wild Baja cat - he has beautiful blue eyes and incredibly long legs.
