We found this amazing beach at the end of a gorgeous wildflower path.




Wild Callas!!! Love. Sigh

getting our feet wet to reach the other side

Big Sur!

It was raining so much as we were making our way down the Big Sur coast that there was a mudslide around half way down and we had to turn around!

but lucky for us it got sunny on the way back!! yay!! we stopped and had a lovely lunch with an unbelievable view and then took a little walk on the cliffs....

95 cheers for Kozo Haraguchi

to take a moment from my travel logging... to acknowlege a old tidbit of news i realize...this happened like a year ago. but still. this guy is 95 years old and is setting running records!! not to mention he is sporting my favorite numbers.. sweet right

DRIVINGGGGG to Monterey...

i am a very SERIOUS driver

oooo goolllddennn gate!

YAY

talk about culture shock. we go from peace and love organic yummy land to Louie Linguine's Seafood Shack in tourist trap Monterey. All we wanted was some fresh fish and Louie pulled thru for us...

the Comfort Inn was another story. We pay 100 bucks for a room and get to it and see that of all the rooms on the3rd floor ours is the only one with even a door handle. umm yeah no thanks. it was way creepy. so we go to get another room and startle the poor receptionist who is literally laying on a sleeping bag on the floor in his pajamas. we get our somewhat improved room, were still weirded out so we ended up getting our sleeping bags...

Heartwood!!

so much rain lately made the trees so mossy green lovely

Jenny and Jamila: Mountain Ladies

the "lodge" here is where all the wonderful meals are served...it is the sweetest building

a little exploratory stroll in the rain

too bad my little camera could not capture real charm and magesty of the land,even on that rainy weekend everything seemed perfect.
