US Route 1, California


Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada      Sunday, May 12, 2019
The Westerdam pulled into  Canada Place, the Vancouver Port bright and early. Larry and I took the ship transportation  (half an hour drive) to the airport to catch our 12:15 pm flight to San Francisco.


 We picked up our rental car and were off for one of our favorite drives in the world, Route 1 in California.
 After spending the night in  Carmel we got a bright and early start driving through the scenic town of Monterey.

            California has kind of a early morning gray foggy haze that burns off as noon approaches.
             The homes in Monterey are magnificent. What views of the ocean they have!
                                       


                                         This time of year the purple moss is magnificent!






                                                        Bird Island also had barking seals.







These critters were very tame.


                                   This  beach succulent was in full bloom all over the place.




                                                                 What an unusual house?!


                    The morning fog finally began to burn off leaving some fabulous blue water views.






                   Pebble Beach Golf Club is celebrating it's 100th year in the next few weeks.


                                             Who wouldn't want to live here with this view?




                                                  This brought back a good memory!







                                                A final look north as we approach Big Sur.

                                                           The River at Big Sur
















                                 Hundreds of elephant seals north of San Simeon basking in the sun.





                                                Zebras grazing with Hearst  Castle cattle.
                                      Hundreds of surfers were out catching midweek waves in Malibu.

                                            An all time favorite spot....La Jolla, CA
                                              Tame squirrels and chipmunks here as well.






                                     Our San Diego motorcycle friend's home, Mike and Kit

                                         We were happy to see their pets, Paris and Mimi.
                                                    Their new addition....Piper.


We enjoyed some delicious baby backs and shared a  good many riding stories before  hitting the sack. Tomorrow brings  a trip to Baja, Mexico....we can hardly wait.
