We left Manchester Beach early this morning heading south on Highway 1. Highway 1 is considered one of the most scenic drives in the United States. Today's drive on Highway 1 did not disappoint. Although the road was often narrow and always twisting and turning the scenery was spectacular. On one side was the ocean where whales, sea lions and seals, along with surfers share the cold Pacific.
We approached San Francisco from the north and in so doing, got to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. It costs $6.00 to cross. We continued on down the coast until we reached the Santa Cruz KOA, an eco campground. We can see the ocean from our site. Since the horses here are booked for the next couple of days, we decided to treat ourselves to dinner to the restaurant on the grounds. They serve all organic, locally grown produce and the most decadent chocolate lava cake that I have ever eaten.
We returned to the camper after dinner and tuned the iPad to CBC radio to listen to the very sad story of the election at home. Tomorrow we will spend some time on the beach before heading to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
