Travel - The Headlands Center for the Arts, Sausalito, CA

I was up in northern California getting a dose of inspiration and took myself to the Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito. Breathtaking somehow doesn't really even cover it....dramatic, beautiful, sublime, dare I say even magical. Driving down a quiet one lane road flanked by rolling green hills and the mist of salt water, it occurs to you how transforming nature can be.

The Art Center is a series of historic army barracks that have been rehabilitated and renovated by architects and artists such as David Ireland, Bruce Tomb and Leonard Hunter. One of the highlights is the communal dining room in the basement that was designed by Ann Hamilton, if you call a couple days in advance you can participate in their family style dinner. Chef, Juliette Delventhal serves up rustic meals with organic and locally grown produce. Meals are a reasonable $20 per person....yum!
