The central coast groups at Santa Cruz and Monterey share more than a fog line to offer cool beaches when everybody inland is baking! The Santa Cruz group has their beautiful house in Soquel, while the Monterey group has met in various locations over the years since it was founded in Carmel Valley. For the last few years, we have met in the town of Marina. As this is the closest we has been to Santa Cruz, it reduces travel time for Santa Cruz members to join us there on occasion for latihan and potluck.
Over the years, several members have gone back-and-forth between the groups, so we are pretty interconnected. We’ve gotten together twice in 2023, and hope to continue the tradition, perhaps once a quarter. The photo below of a recent get together was shot outside the Marina Library, using an iPhone and tripod, which created a couple of timing issues.
Raina Snyder did not have time to get into the shot after setting it up. I seem to be searching for a UFO, as the shot was supposed to have been done by that time!I But, it is always spiritually and socially invigorating when our two groups meet together to surrender and break bread.
