We left Mojave after a breakfast at Denny's. Continued on 15 to Bakersfield to 99 N to 46 west. Drove through the valley with citrus groves especially oranges, almond groves and pistachios. Passed almond hullers. In Wasco saw row upon row of roses. Wasco was very pretty until we came to the state correctional facility.
Wind turbines seem to be following us and multiplying!
Stopped in Cambria for gas at $3.98 and an antique mall! Then we hit the Pacific Coast Highway going north. Stopped to dip our toes in the ocean then up the road to see the sea lions. The road took us through awesome views of the pacific and eventually some redwoods. The peanut gallery were backseat drivers wishing there was a 2nd steering wheel. Some of the turns were very tight and speeds varied from 20mph to 55. Best place on earth. Got to Monterrey about 4:30. Checked in then went down to Fisherman's Wharf for dinner and "souvenirs". The water was filled with colonies of jellyfish. The sea lions were sunning on a small raft. Drove to the aquarium area and inti pacific Grove. Topped the evening with Coldstone.

At least you weren't dipping your toes in San Diego with the great white attack! Seriously, I'm jealous of all the great stuff you are seeing on your trip.
