@iserbrown, if you look closely that photo is far from perfect. I think I did the pano a bit too fast or maybe I was just shaking so much because I was worried that I was going to drop the phone with the strength of the wind! But that makes it even more special.

I actually washed my hair and sat in the sun just inside those windows while it dried. I never felt so safe and so content. I was finally at peace with all that had happened in the last few years! What a place to experience that?!
Hugs to you too and Michelle. Thanks for your support. xoxo
