I was delighted to see that West Metro Mommy posted photos from Rothenburg ob der Tauber (Germany). I've been there a couple of times, and I adore that walled town. Check out the photos at http://westmetromommy.blogspot.com/2014/03/saturday-snapshot-march-8.html
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the lavender margaritas!

Thanks for reminding me! I never did get the recipe from Kathy.
DeleteWhat a beautiful place Moclips is (and no I'd never heard of it before). In a way I'm glad that big old hotel was destroyed, it would totally change the place. Great idea to include a map too.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. Maybe Mother Nature was telling somebody to SCRAM.
DeleteWhat a lovely spot, Sandra! I love little out of the way motels like that. Such fun! Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteEach motel room had a little kitchenette area, living room, and bedroom(s) -- just right for my writing group.
DeleteThe little out of the way spots are so much fun as they are something different and make for a unique travel story and often have some interesting tales or photos to share.
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd taken more pictures. The area really was peaceful and beautiful.
DeleteLooks like a movie set!!
ReplyDeleteI grew up and lived for 20 years in "Eastern" Washington, and I had never heard of Moclips. Now I want to go check it out. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThere's not much to do there -- no shopping, no fine restaurants -- and that makes it a great place for a writing retreat.
DeleteI love Washington, too! Seattle is a favorite go-to spot, but the quiet coastal places are actually the best spots to linger. I love Google maps!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
I love Google maps too, and I thought one would be helpful for this post.
DeleteSo many beaches are jammed with people. Like you, I much prefer a quiet out-of-the-way place. I hope you'll post some photos of your beach.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Moclips but it looks like the kind of place I'd like to find.
ReplyDeleteIt just occurred to me that most people never have heard of Puyallup either!
DeleteI've been to Puyallup, but never heard of Moclips. I will have to ask my mom (Silverdale) and brother (Bainbridge Is.) if they have hard of it. Looks like a great place.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tiny place and not exactly a tourist mecca, but we enjoyed our weekend there.
DeleteI toured that area twenty years ago ... so very beautiful! We stayed up in Forks at Kalaloch Lodge. I still remember massive trees that looked like toothpicks were washed up on the coastal beach ... it amazed me! I felt so very small.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that Kalaloch Lodge is beautiful. Another lovely old hotel is Lake Quinault Lodge. It is on a lake, and there are lots of walking trails nearby. I guess I'll have to post more photos from the Washington coast.
DeleteThat stretch of beach looks amazing. Great pics. Here's Mine
