Karen's home was in a perfect location for my two night layover, visiting family.
She is a very welcoming and warm host and showed me how to find a walking trail to the local shopping complex with a grocery store, coffee shop and restaurants.
There are hiking trails nearby but as I was visiting during an intense heatwave I wasn't inclined to try.
However, the Pacific coast beaches are a short drive away.
I'd been travelling for two days and sunk right into the lovely bed on my first night, asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
Second night, windows open and watching the full moon rise over the hills into a crystal clear sky. All quiet. Bliss!.
Totally recommend Karen's home.
