Figuring out the lay of the land here at the new spot. The beach in front feels odd, narrower than what we're used to in the Cove, and with more houses.

Behind us is the hill that shields this little street from the noise of PCH. Climb up and there's a dirt road, plenty of trees and ground squirrels and bunnies.

This was the view this morning, the Santa Monica bay all gray and still.
