During your stay
I am often present in my private apartment, working in the art studio, in the gardens or in the office. I am happy to answer questions, give directions and recommend local restaurants and activities. Sometimes I may be not home in which case I will be available via texting and cell phone.

Other things to note
-Because I'm out in the back country I can only get satellite Wi-Fi which means our Internet service at Green Owl in really slow; therefore please download movies, U-tube videos or image rich content before you arrive. Streaming movies, gaming or other graphic intense use of the internet is disappointing and involves lots of buffering. The Internet works fine for all other use like checking emails and looking things up on the web. It's just not speedy. There is no password needed for internet service, just click on "greenowl guest" to log in. If you need to do something that requires cable internet speed you can always do what I do, go to the Julian public library, which has high speed internet, great art work and is a super friendly place where you will see lots of locals (using the internet ;)
