Along the way

    Artichoke garlic herb bread, still warm. Half of it didn't make it to the car.

  2. 18 Apr
    Monterey Bay Aquarium πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈMonterey, United States

    The jellies room could be my apartment. Sea otter feeding at 10:30, don't be late.

    Fog lifted for exactly one photo. This one.

  4. 19 Apr
    McWay Falls πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈBig Sur, United States

    Heard it before we saw it. A waterfall onto a beach nobody's allowed to walk on.

    Three days on Highway 1 and not one clear view. Still the best trip I've taken in California.
