11. Best Place ‘09

A coffee shop? A pub? A retreat center? A cubicle? A nook?

My place at the beach.  After moving there two years ago, recently it started to feel like “mine”.   Now, 2 years on – it’s the place I mean when I say “home”.  More specifically, my favorite spot is the large patio upstairs – from which this is the view.  Except in the winter (Dec to mid-March); it’s on the north side and gets no sun in the winter - - but come spring it’s great - - sun enough, shade enough.
