We didn't actually see the coast until the third day of our trip. Isn't that strange? I mean, had you left London at the same time, you could've met up with us at that point.

There are, in all honest truth, no words to accurately describe the beauty of the Pacific Coast highway. In one day we saw beaches and caves carpeted with sea lions, trees larger than I'd ever imagined, herds of grazing, deceptively peaceful looking elk (apparently they can be extremely dangerous if approached on foot!), giant sand dunes, and all of it strung together with hundreds of miles of winding road skirting the edge of the pounding surf of the coast of the Pacific Ocean.
