Big Sur's Lucia, Pure Joy

Big Sur! Lucia in Big Sur! Oh, I miss Lucia so much, the wonderful restaurant and grounds. I hope it can recover from the wildfire a couple of years ago. We have gone there many times and even stayed in one of the little cabins perched up high on the side of cliff. This is a remaining structure, and it has always intrigued me. I've always wanted to live in this humble dwelling with the spectacular and immense Pacific Ocean right there. At least I got to paint it and preserve it on canvas forever.
