Named by the Spanish explorer Ferdinand
Magellan, the Pacific Ocean occupies about one
third of the earth's surface. Its eastern shore has undoubtedly
changed extensively since Vasco Nunez de Balboa first sighted it in the
early 1500's. On the eastern shore lies the Golden State of
California. And there, as any explorer will attest, countless
treasures await to be discovered...

Arlecchina
was added to the Sausalito
page
Arlecchina features contemporary collections for today's
woman - feminine, romantic, adventurous. We select one-of-a-kind
garments made from quality fabrics. Many pieces evoke reaction,
their colors are pleasing, their patterns range from innovative
professional image to colorful inspirations, reminiscent of the
1960s and 1970s, but definitely 2008, and occasionally timeless.

exquisitely perfect coastal town goes far beyond the ability to recite the
names of its famous -- although not-often-in-residence -- occupants.
Things like neon signs, billboards and hot-dog stands are prohibited in
Carmel; dogs themselves are welcome everywhere. At last count there
were more restaurants than Carter has pills, each with a personality so
inviting that I find it difficult to stop at less than two -- per day --
whenever I visit. There are almost as many art galleries, and I have
lost count of the number of little shops offering everything from T-Shirts
to T-Bone steaks and everything in between. Read more

 Go West Young
Man...to Seattle - Part II
Quickly on our way again, the fading sun, combined with the towering
Rockies, didn't leave much time for viewing the impressive scenery.
Even in the dim light of dusk, the colors are breathtaking and the
rugged beauty masks the desolation of the area -- not a place I'd like
to be alone after dark! Across the Continental Divide and through
Marias Pass...Read
