Aptos

Aptos is the beautiful town near Santa Cruz where my wife's family co-owns a beach house. We went there for indigenous Peoples' Day to celebrate Karen's birthday. Michel took the day off to pick us up at San Jose Airport and took us to the Wylie's house, where we got Karen's car and repacked for the short drive to Santa Cruz; it was Friday, so there would be traffic. (The airports were busy, though the plane was sparcely populated. They encouraged us to check the wheelchair at the counter, although we didn't get the message oil we whereat the gate.)

Michael was a great aid all weekend, helping me get to and from a bathroom with limited access each morning and evening. The sunsets in Aptos are like messages from God, whether or not you Believe. Even a concise sunset here can remind the viewer that she's at the end of something, and so reflect more deeply. Evan and Luke had hours of beach play. Kathy Sure and Doug O'Neil stopped by, and Sue Sargent stopped in with son Owen.
