California,

your beauty is blowing my mind.

We’re nearly at the top of this lovely, large state, and I have seen more in these last few days than my mind can process.  Santa Barbara and its lush, flowery, mansion-lined hills.  Monterey, with its cool sea breeze and perpetual fog.  And of course, Big Sur, with cliffs of jaw-dropping proportion, and no guard-rails.. and sights that extend to the edge of the earth.  We were in the mist on the rocky, pacific beaches and then above the clouds, all in a four hour stretch.

I’m almost sorry to say we’re near the end of our Californian adventure, but then I remind myself.. Oregon is next.
