Super Cali Fragilistic Photo Blog part 3 of 3 - The Pacific Coast
The last part of this journey. The Pacific coast. Words can't explain what its like to drive down highway 1 in California. Its about 8 hours from San Fran to LA, but its worth every minute. We pit stopped at Pismo Beach on the way down, there are eventually a few shots of venice beach, and then Topanga Canyon (in LA) towards the end with Mikes Bacon shirt.
Feel free to leave some feedback if you like what you see!!
Enjoi!
Yosemite and San Francisco - Cali Blog 2 of 3
Part 2 of the Cali photo super-fragilistic blog. Yosemite is one of the most amazing places I have witnessed with my own eyes, It's pretty extraordinary. Yosemite is only about 5 hours from LA, a nice drive that is just as breathtaking as the park itself. It was Presidents day weekend so our $10 (maybe $20?) fee to drive into the park was waived. #winning. We spent 2 days there and we were able to see a pleasing amount of nature, there is much much more park than what we did actually see though. This was a pretty big reason why I wanted to go to Cali in the first place. I really suggest you go here. book the trip...go! ... really, just do it, yolo.
After Yosemite we drove 3 hours east to San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge is cool, but there was another bridge there that doesn't get any attention at all, I feel bad for that bridge, it looked just as nice as the golden gate. There were some hills, Alcatraz is a lot closer to shore than I previously had thought, aaand uummmmm we did not have any Rice-A-Roni (the San Francisco treat). All in all I wasn't too impressed with San Fran, given, we didn't stay there too long. Honestly though, after seeing, New York, DC, LA, and of course the best city on the planet BOSTON, San Fran is just another city. It felt a lot like New Orleans mixed with Boston, which isn't too bad now that I think of it.
any way... pics
Cali Blog 1 of 3- San Diego, Zoo, and Safari
Me and Johanna (my gf) were about 80% through a bottle of white when we hastily decided that we need a vacation. So we bought plane tickets and 5 weeks later we're off to California! We couldn't really afford it, but we did it, and we have no regrets!! Money Comes and goes, but travel before you have kids!
We landed in LA from Boston, stayed the night with a friend who lives in LA. The next morning we headed to San Diego for 2 days to visit the Zoo and the Safari. We got to see the "Cheetah Run", San diego is the only zoo in this hemisphere that is allowed to facilitate a "cheetah run". They prefaced the run with a warning..."We highly suggest that you put your cameras down and watch the cheetah run with your own eyes, because it is so fast that you are likely to not get a photo of it, and then basically miss the whole thing entirely" ... so thats when I tried to lock down some settings in my camera and pray for the best. Luckily I was able to get a few shots... and even more luckily, they let the Cheetah do it again, so I got to witness it with my own eyes. (basically what I'm saying is don't judge me on those shots, she really was lightning fast) :)
San Diego is the most beautiful, and the Zoo/Safari is incredible.
This will be the first of 3 sets of photos from our trip.
