Well it's time to move on from the architecturally stunning den of iniquity. Isaac and Albert liked Pier 39, I liked the architecture. Lydia's favourite part of San Francisco was our hotel room. We stopped at a couple of different state parks on our way down to Somewhere Near Salinas, beautiful rugged coastline.
Lunched at the Pescadaro State Park where there were some ubercool sand formations, cliffs and wildflowers, mostly hardy looking varieties clinging desperately to the cliffsides.
We stopped at Santa Cruz, aka Surf City where there is a boardwalk and a very windy beach, reminiscent of a beachside town with a boardwalk and surfers and sand. There was a very fun market on the edge of a farming area with fresh fruit, avacadoes for 2$ a bagful. Some photo ops, too.
We blew through Castroville, artichoke capital of the world, unfortunately missed the artichoke-fest.
I guess we're just not lucky. We stay somewhere near Salinas tonight and tomorrow, we'll slip away somewhere near San Luis Obispo. That just never gets old for me.
