Once in awhile-now and again-this is us

we have had such spectacular weather on this trip, i’m not going to complain now. but redding is just too hot so we’re not staying. we did want to go to the turtle bay museum with all it’s great mosaic pieces, but redding is just way too hot. we wanted to walk on the sundial bridge, but redding is just way too damn hot. but I won’t complain.

we’re going to lassen volcanic national park next, with a short sidetrip to vina.  it is a little out of our way though.

you probably don’t remember the trappist monastery we visited in 2010, with the new clairvaux winery. the grounds are beautiful and very peaceful. they are rebuilding a chapter house out of sacred stones brought from spain.  i’m anxious to see the progress they have made.

this is from their website.

“The Chapter House, reconstructed here at the monastery, was originally built in Spain between 1190 and 1220.  It was originally purchased, dismantled and brought to San Francisco by William Randolph Hearst in 1931.  Originally intended to be the centerpiece of a new building project that was to surpass that of San Simeon, it remained scattered about Golden Gate State Park until the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco awarded it to the Abbey”

my picture of mt. Shasta is so bad, but it’s the only one I have. I took it while driving. there have been so many fires, there is a haze everywhere.

you can see how the level of lake Shasta has fallen. again taken while driving.
