The Hotel Del Coronado - one of the grand dames of stately
nineteenth century wooden hotels - is haunted by memories of gentlemen
in top hats strolling the grounds, with ladies in long evening gowns on
their arms. Traditions such as high tea, and memorable Thanksgiving and
New Years celebrations, hearken back to that fashionable era.
I
set up my easel in the sand, and began to paint just as the morning fog
lifted and golden light broke through, bathing the dignified old hotel
in a radiance that seemed to banish the years.
