We lounged around Carmel this morning, 'cause it was so darn pretty. The coastal hightway between Carmel and San Luis Obispo area is considered to be the most fabulous section of the coastal highway. We were not to be disappointed with Big Sur and the surrounding area. We stopped a ridiculous number of times on the highway, the views were thrillling.
I'll spare you all the two or three hundred photos I took of pristine, wild, rugged, stunning coastland of bays and headlands and twisted highway, and just share three here.
We stopped along the highway to see the McWay waterfall, fed from and underground spring, so it runs the same all year round. It falls eighty feet to turquois water. There is dozens of eucalyptus trees and the warm air was full of the scent of it. Intoxicating.
There is a stretch of elephant seals along the coast, lying around, dusting themselves with moist sand to keep cool, and making noisy claims over their particular strip of sand.
We stopped in Morro Bay, yet another little seaside town for ice cream. There was an interesting volcanic peak in the bay, sticking our from the water, and just a short distance away an impressive nuclear power plant.
