I can almost smell the grapes fermenting

I just got into the hotel and, even though I drove in the night I like this place already. It's very undeveloped. No lights in the road for miles. I stopped off in a town to try to catch a sunset over the ocean and to grab some dinner so most of my final drive was in darkness with maybe 3 other cars in the final 90 minutes. I was conscious of kangaroos, like you are deer driving through Wisconsin. Thankfully I saw none, but I did see a few bats. What took most of my attention was the stars. Being so undeveloped, there was almost no light pollution. I'm looking forward to tomorrow night to explore the downtown a bit more. There's one short main street with bars and restaurants.

But, until then I'll leave you with the bit of the sunset I did get. Still not too shabby.
