Day Three

We left Big Sur at 7:45am for parts south. Little did we know that there was a monster uphill right after our hotel. At least our legs were fresh at that hour. The day started off beautifully - more sun, as canbe seen below



We stopped at Lucia for a little break and ate some lunch. We are finding that a lot of these towns consist of a couple hundred people and a single store.





Our next stop was in Gorda where we filled up with cool water and animal crackers. After that we ran into quite a bit of construction due to mud slides. It was fun talking to the flag people while we were waiting.


There was one spot that we stopped for a picture even though it was clearly marked otherwise.


Most of the rest of the day was spent in fog. We're thinking this was a blessing since we had two nasty hills to climb that would have been quite miserable in full sun. As we got closer to San Simeon we found a bunch of elephant seals. Now, the quiz for the day is to see if you can figure out from the pictures below which the elephant seals are.





Then it was another ten miles or so before we hit a bed and breakfast in Cambria where we are now relaxing. We did about 75 miles today.
