fortuna, ca

My friend G and I took a trip down to Fortuna, California to see our friend M and explore her new home down there. M and I drove down there back in October so she could interview and find a place to live, this was my first trip back since she got settled in. We had such an amazing weekend. M, her boyfriend T, and their three furry creatures live in a wild house that I like to call the Hobbit Hole. It’s eclectic and wonderful. G and I had the artist’s loft next door to stay in, we felt quite spoiled. Each morning M would join us for coffee and toast so we could have our girl-time. I wish we could have that every morning, it was such a treat to sit down and chat with great friends first thing.

M and T treated us to gorgeous walks in the Redwoods. It’s impossible to even describe the grandeur of those forests and trees. You walk into them and feel instantly how ancient these creatures are. Tall, majestic, beautiful, and surprisingly delicate, I couldn’t get enough of them. We also spent some time on the coast, which is rugged and striking, and a bit of small town/city time as well. The weekend went by too quickly, as fun vacations do, but it was a great adventure.

I snapped a few photos, forgive the many tree images, but I did fall in love with those giants. Thank you, M + T for a fantastic visit, thank you, G for being a wonderful travel companion, and thank you, A for letting me borrow your rare camera that I was terrified of breaking the entire time.
