The Travel Shrine - Rosarita Island


I just completed my Travel Shrine for this year's winter adventure on Rosarito Island,the narrow sand spit just below Pensacola,Florida. It will be our winter nest.  As always my shrine should represent the journey-- actual and metaphorical.  It should show what I look forward to and expect for the trip.  It should show my excitement and my fears an hesitations as well. The core purpose  of a Travel Shrine is to help me see and understand all the issues that surround each adventure.  I love to share my travel shrines,so if you have any questions at all,please ask me!
  
We've rented a condo, right on the beach, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Both Norm and I look forward to spending slow mornings over coffee watching  the waves roll in, and warm afternoons walking the beach in search of treasures.  We're taking our kites along for windy day play times and open minds for whatever adventures unfold. We are armed with loaded Nooks and look forward to joining the local library. Of course, books will fill many hours and there will be many an hour of rousing Farckle games!


 We leave January 7th - only eight more sleeps! This year my theme for our 2015 winter adventure is:  "The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”  -- Eleanor Roosevelt 


We hope you’ll join us vicariously or, if you're looking for your own adventure come on down!  We'll have a pull-out couch and an open invitation for any friend or family to use it. But, only for two days.....because you know what they say about fish and company by the third day!

Counting the sleeps until we leave...
