Once Again...


I'm in California right now.  

It's so fun to say that.  :)  I was recently in southern California, and am now in Merced, which lies near the center of the state.  A previous roommate of mine, Mike, came out to visit his parents for a week and invited me to tag along.  Gas is relatively cheap to what it was a year or so ago, so I figured I'd enjoy another foray into the golden state.  

We spent the last two days in the Monterrey area.  If you've never been, I suggest you go once in your life.  It's a beautiful city, and to the South lies a gorgeous area known as "Big Sur".  Highway 1 runs along the coastline here and treats you to some of the most breathtaking scenery you'll ever enjoy.  I shot the picture at the head of this post on one of the many "pull over" points on the highway.  

I will post more when I get home.  I have a million pictures that I can't wait to show you.

  2. My brother-in-law is from Merced. You should ask your friend, Mike, if he knows any Wellmans. :)

  3. Wow that is breathtaking. As someone who has never been to California (I'm an east coast, midwestern girl), I am very jealous about all of your recent trips. I'd love to go some day!
