Pacific Coast Highway (PCH)

Yesterday we drove down to LA from San Francisco along the Pacific Coast Highway. The views were amazing! I can't even describe them to you; I guess you'll just have to wait for pictures. The water was so blue and there were mountains on the other side of the road. At one point we stopped and saw dozens of elephant seals on the beach. There were tons of people lined up on the side of the road. I think it's great that something so simple can still captivate the attention of so many people. We stopped at a local store in Big Sur for lunch and had homemade burritos. One last interesting thing about our drive down the PCH, we really really needed gas at one point and caved to buy it along the way. For $10 we got approximately 2 gallons. Luckily it was more than enough to get us to cheaper gas.

We arrived at my cousin's house in LA around 8pm. My cousin's wife, Kieu, greeted us cooked us a lot of Vietnamese food. After sitting in LA traffic, it was nice to finally be out of the car!
