Today we woke to the cool, crisp breezes and bright sunshine which is so much a part of the climate that brings thousands to this region. Bruce and I sat out on the deck as I savored the coffee made in a French press. A friendly tabby came by to say hello and a blue starling squawked loudly as though we were intruding in his territory.
After the family woke, and Lilly Rae had her morning fill, we went to Jax Diner in downtown Truckee for breakfast.
Bruce and I had eggs, sausage and pancakes. Eric had shrimp tacos and Kami had some salad breakfast thing that looked quite interesting.
Truckee looks like an old mining town and I really need to delve into its history.
After a delicious, but filling breakfast we headed over to Squaw Mountain to check out the little village and the mountain.
Next stop was An overlook of Emerald Bay. The waters were emerald green and a royal blue. Amazing!
We relaxed and enjoyed the clean air. And Lilly slept away.
What a beautiful place to live and breathe.
I am really loving This part of California which reminds me more of a Maine.
We went to a beach with its sandy shore and large driftwood.
There was some sort of dwelling built from sticks. Of course it was not weatherproofed so I am sure whoever built it was just in the process of making it or it had been abandoned some time ago.
The lake water was crystal clear and several people had braved the cold temperature. I was not one of them. The beauty around Lake Tahoe is much to behold.
I finally captured a moment with the blue starling in a tree. Not that this was a big deal because they are a rather common bird around here. But they are not so common for me.
We drove through a tunnel through the mountain.
At the end of the day little Lilly Ray was sleeping soundly.
