My trip.

So I had pretty spotty internet access, AND I was enjoying the lovely California sights, so I neglected to post travel updates as they happened. Oh well.

I did get some cool pictures though, so those will follow...


PCH beautiful vista #1 of 1000

After leaving L.A. and getting on Highway 1, we saw a whole lotta this, which is freaking amazing to prairie-raised midwesterners like us. You know what ELSE is amazing to us?

Seals!!! That's right, I think we saw this after we left Santa Barbara, but maybe just before. Either way, we just pulled over to what looked like a beautiful place to see the ocean, and what do we encounter? About 50 elephant seals on the beach. The males were actually fighting to gain access to the females for mating, while the lady seals just sunned themselves lazily on the beach.

Freakin' SEALS, man!!

After all this excitement, we drove from Santa Barbara to Monterey, rode bikes, saw more seals and ocean (neither of which EVER get old), ate as many crepes as possible, then drove to our final destination: the Bay Area. Too bad we both had to go back to reality. Those 10 days were damn near perfect.
