A Damn Long Drive

The day was long, as was the drive.  Our only consolation was the beautiful scenery.  I took a lot of photos but I will only show a few here- you'll have to make the drive yourself some time for the full benefit.  

Here is How and I by the San Francisco Coast.

There are dozens of beautiful bays like this one, it is a remarkable place in that if you ever want a beach all to yourself all you need to do is pull the car over and walk down to the sand.

At a beach by the Hearst Castle in San Simeon, a colony of Elephant Seals was beached to breed.  How and I taunted the seals to no end, calling them fat and lazy, yet we were unable to elicit a response from the beasts.

We reached "big rock" outside of Malibu around 7:30 at night and took a few pictures of the sun setting.

How took this picture, of which he was very proud and demanded it be displayed on the web site.  We arrived in Los Angeles around 9:00 which was a problem because we had dinner reservations at Spago at 9:30.  We checked in to the hotel and changed as quickly as possible.  We were less than impressed with Spago though a few drinks went a long way in improving its appeal.  Overall the place is a lot more than it is cracked up to be but it is still a decent restaurant.  We ogled the window display of a Ferrari dealership and drove Sunset before calling it a night.
