Mendocino

From Sacramento, we returned to California’s north coast and stayed in a small bungalow, one of eleven on the grounds of a mini-hotel. Each cabin is decorated and furnished according to a theme: “Play”, “Travel”, “Create”, “Read” and so on. Ours was “Write”, complete with quotes from the biographies of great (mostly American) writers, a framed page from a thesaurus, a magnetic board with a random assortment of words to be arranged into more or less coherent sentences, and shelves packed with books.
On the table stood a mechanical Royal typewriter and a couple of sheets of paper.
