Big Sur
After viewing the otters, we drove past San Simeon (one of the world’s most tasteless mansions — it’s well worth seeing just so you know that money can’t necessarily fix ugly) and up to the southernmost end of Big Sur. I haven’t been to Big Sur in 45 years or so. It is really beyond compare. It’s a shame I messed up my camera settings, but there are some landscapes that are so beautiful they cannot be ruined by poor photography, and Big Sur is one of them.
