Day 6. Monterey to San Luis Obispo







yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is a SUNNY day. First day of total sunshine and we are all happy campers.



We left early from Monterey and took in the 17 mile drive. A beautiful way to start the day. We stopped at Pebble Beach Lodge. Bob loved it here. He would have stayed but the cost for a round of golf was beyond his means. We ended that particular adventue with a tour around the back coastal road of Carmel. Beautiful homes and a wonderful area. On the way down to San Simeon and the Hearst Castle we stopped and took in the row after row of Elephant seals. Smelly if you got too close! Good reason to stand back and take it all in. We went on a great tour of the castle seeing one of the guest houses, the main house grand room, inside and outside pools and the dining room. What a surreal building. Makes you think back to imagine everything you have seen from the nouveau rich of the 1920's.



We drove an hour and ended up in San Luis Obispo. Pretty place too. Another great food stop at Tahoe Joe's. Sue called it 'Camp Howdie Doodie'. Very rustic, but good food.



Well, we end up at our destination in Encinitas tomorrow. Can't wait, especially now the weather has decided to bless us with sunshine!
