Thunderstorms are on their way. I figured this morning was my only chance to visit the beach, so I headed down there at sunrise. These pictures don’t do justice to the impressive size of the thunderclouds or the beautiful lavender and pink hues as the sun rose behind the clouds.

My favorite morning routine - watching the sun come up, sipping from a big mug of coffee and listening to the quiet.

I love watching the sun come up over the ocean. It’s so quiet at dawn; the only thing I can hear is the crash of waves on the shore. These were taken this morning on St Augustine beach.

Cooking in an RV kitchen takes a fair bit of advance planning & prep and some menu compromises, but it’s worth the effort. Gorgonzola potatoes, filet mignon with shallots & mushrooms in a Marsala sauce and grilled Brussels sprouts with a maple glaze.
