Catching up
I may not have blogged each day, but I tried to put up 5 pictures on Flickr for each day of the trip. I’ll post more when I get back, but it seemed like a reasonable goal, and I seem to be hitting it most days. Sometimes I haven’t had internet, so there’s been a bit of a lag, but more or less I’ve been successful. So click here for a slideshow of San Francisco.
San Francisco came and went, then we picked up a car to head south. We spent the night in Monterey, and oh did I love it! A bunch of people recommended Carmel beach. It was just so nice to be able to walk down a beach in January. It was very pretty, right near pebble beach, but man am I glad that we didn’t come during the summer. You can tell how congested it must get when the crowds are there. The high point was Point Lobos though, where we saw sea lions, seals and… OTTERS!!! Love otters, just love them. Short little slideshow of Monterey here. I would love to come back and spend a ton of more time there. The next day was mostly spent in the Monterey Bay Aquarium (slideshow) and then the drive up north.
Oh, my, am I ever glad we decided to take the train to San Diego. I could barely handle driving the freeway from Monterey to Santa Rosa, I really would have died going through LA! I know it was a Friday night, so that could have contributed to it all, but the twists and turns, drops and climbs, all at highway speed made me really nervous. I have driven on the “wrong” side of the road during a hurricane & braved the Road to Hanna, but man do Cali Freeways freak me out. I got better as the week progressed, but San Francisco was daunting.
More to come on the next few days, but I thought it would be good to start getting things down.
