It is impossible to stay inside this weekend… Sunny, blue sky, 25-26 degrees Celsius. All these in mid-November! So we decided – all three of us – to spend a day on the Pacific coast, drive along the ocean, admire the scenery and make lots of photos.

First stop was in Monterey, cozy small town by the sea, with a very nice marina (also very touristic, apparently). A loud demonstration was also taking place on the streets – people supporting gay rights in California.

Next item on the agenda was the famous 17 miles drive, an exquisite area between Monterey and Carmel. Great houses, even castles, large domains, endless, green golf fields and, above all, a restless sea. Besides tourists like us, the only occupation around seemed to be golf. The joke goes among us that people living there are the ones that were really lucky with their start-ups

After a well-deserved lunch in beautiful Carmel, we hit the best part of Highway 1, going south to Big Sur, along one of the most spectacular costline scenery ever seen.

We got to to Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park before the sunset, just in time to admire the unique beach with an waterfall and to make dozens of photos, of course.

All in all, just a perfect day!

Greetings,
Raluca and Mihai
