Coast drive San Fran to LA

The drive along the coast was beautiful. Dolphins, whales, seaside and forest. 



Big Sur. still not sure exactly what Big Sur is but this is Big Sur.


Monterey overnight with a wander into down and to the wharf. 




Simon insisted on having the wood fire going. Didn't like to admit it was a good idea.....but it was.


Finishing up the night with a little piña colada popper.


A day trip to Carmel was one of the nicest places we visited during our whole trip. What an amazing little town. If we are ever back in this neck of the woods we are staying in Carmel, it is truly gorgeous. 








We got talked into a French restaurant for lunch. Thinking it would send us broke we went in with hesitation. What a surprise, great price and awesome food. Lovely sitting next to the fire pit.





And a cocktail for lunch topped it off. Poor Simon was driving.




We finished the day in Carmel with a drive along the 17 Mile Drive. 



Just a few sea lions out for a swim.


The lone Cyprus. 





I had to try the seafood chowder. 


Simon had to try an iced Long Island tea. 

A good breakfast before heading off for another day's drive. Well that is throwing the word 'good' around loosely. Finally made it to ihop.
