Awesome all the Way Around

Whether we were sitting outside enjoying the view or sitting inside watching something on Netflix, we were relaxing. Loved the openness of the main living area. I could prepare a meal while still be included in the conversation. Communication with our hosts was always handled in a timely fashion. I do miss my bird friends. They gave me the opportunity to capture some nest photos.
