We started the day by driving north at a leisurely pace. We stopped at a restaurant that overlooks the Big Sur coastline and had coffee and a snack while admiring the view, watching sea lions and keeping a sharp eye out for whales. Unfortunately we didn't see any whales even though we were told that some had been spotted along the coast a short time ago.We looked for a campsite that would enable us to do laundry and get the van ready for return tomorrow morning. Luckily we located one about an hour and a half away from San Leandro where we will return the van tomorrow morning.
En route to Santa Nella we drove through a town called Gilroy, a town that claims to be The Garlic Capital. I believe their claim because there was no mistaking the smell of garlic in the air. There were also numerous fruit and vegetable stands featuring garlic and fields and fields of garlic.
Outside of Gilroy we stopped at an outlet mall, browsed around and then headed off to our campsite. We did laundry, cleaned up the camper and watched a bit of tv. Tomorrow it's back to San Leandro and then on to San Francisco for the night.
