I really LOVE this area. It's about a 20 mile strip of perfection and interest for me near HWY 1 and HWY 101. The pace of life here is much more relaxed and there are beautiful beaches, huge rolling sand dunes (right where we are staying) miles of fresh produce growing everywhere like more fresh strawberries, green and red peppers, huge heads of green and red cabbage, gobs of red ripe tomatoes, the richest, most creamiest avocados ever and more. I totally love to see all of this growing right by the side of the road. The hill sides to the east are covered with more grapes for wine, there are two nice size airports (One in San Luis Obispo and another in Santa Maria) both of which are perfect for Claude's plane(s).
Today we took a walk over the sand dunes. Our Motor home looks out over these dunes and it was so sunny and perfectly warm, we just had to check them out. We started walking but couldn't see the beach so didn't know how far it was. After just a few minutes you get the feeling you may never find your way out. We found a way to the beach and it was beautiful there. Vehicles are allowed on the beach and sand dune buggies on the dunes although we didn't see any on our walk. (Here are a few dune photos)
We have a very attractive living possibility in Nipomo. It is a community that is built by Trilogy. It is lovely. They have everything we could ever want there. Fantastic swimming, craft/painting/pottery studio, state of the art gym and workout equipment, tennis, golf, yoga, tai chi, etc.... it would be so fun here. The house we are attracted to is about 2000 sq. ft and yes, it has a spare guest room. There are lots of Eucalyptus trees here too which I grew up with in Ventura. It is a good feeling to be here both visually and energetically. The one thing that may be negative here is that it may not be quite warm enough in the middle of the winter. It looks like a 62 degree average in January which can feel a little cooler than what we were thinking we might want. We would like closer to 70 degrees. I really like it here but will try to keep an open mind for all the continuous searching we will be doing. After all, we still have the rest of California, Arizona and New Mexico.

I would visit you here!!! Sounds great! I remember staying in a motorhome right next to the sand with an old boyfriend, It was so fun to look out the window and see the sand and ocean.. That little group of cities is a little funky, kinda charming, and growing up since i was there.. Have fun!! love cath
This area sounds really charming.
A light sweater and you are good in 62 deg! Esp. when you think of Burlington drizzling at 35 deg. for a couple days!
Thanks for the updates.
