West Coast travel: Charging stations


Plug-in for charging electric cars
On Day 7 of the West Coast trip that Husband Walter and I took in October, the charging station above for electric cars caught my eye. That was the first I had encountered. Earlier that morning, we took advantage of the kind of charging station that is more familiar to us.

We refueled and charged up at the continental breakfast served by The Gables Inn where we had spent the night in Sausalito, California. My selections of abundant fresh fruit, buttered toast and a couple of cups of English breakfast tea provided a delightful start to my day.
Enjoyable and healthy . . . a no-guilt breakfast

The inn offered the breakfast treats in a comfortable and lovely setting that encouraged leisurely enjoyment of conversation and the fare presented there.

An enjoyable spot to start our day

Afterwards the flowering vines festooning the adjoining balcony beckoned.

More memories, simple but good.

  6. Those are pretty flowers on the vine, but I can't place it. Must be one of those exotic CA plants. The fruit compote looks exquisite. Thanks for sharing your memory bubbles. Dianne

  7. Interesting about the charging station. I've never seen one and always wondered how much they charge for charging.
    What a nice breakfast you had. Loved the fruit bowl.
