California Trip-- 5.17.10 (Day 1)

5:30 am departure from Florence, SC airport
11:00 am arrival at Los Angeles, CA airport

Once in LA we rented a car and started driving up the coast on US 1. Our goal was to make it to Santa Cruz by dark, but making good time on US 1 is hard. There is so much to look at and so many sharp curves.

The entire day there was a heavy mist and all the plants seemed like they really wanted to grow with or without the help people. A little different from growing things in the south, where the plants seem to need our help.

And there were elephant seals. Many elephant seals. Mainly female.

We made it as far as Watsonville, CA. Approx. 22 from Santa Cruz and a measly 353 miles of driving on our first day.
