A couple of weeks ago we took the opportunity to have a week off and go on a road trip from Orange County to San Fransisco and back. Daniel was in the middle of a 21 day Wilderness trip with his school so Ali and I took our time seeing the sights of the Californian countryside. We set off with no particular schedule but to drive up Pacific Coast Highway (1) and enjoy the sights.
What an awesome trip! The natural landscape is spectacular - from jagged rocks and ranges to wide plains, from beautiful white sandy bays to sheer cliffs, from rolling hills to sand dunes to towering peaks, from boring dry brown desert to brightest blue skies and seas, fields of green crops and kaleidoscopic fields of flowers. Everything in America is big and on a big scale, and I wonder if that bigness is just a reflection of the amazing land that is USA.
I've gathered a few photo's from the trip here. Of course I took many more but this may give you just a taste.
