The World's Most Beautiful Highway

I feel so ashamed.  My pictures don't give justice to the beauty of California's Highway 1. It's a state highway that hugs the Pacific Coast and goes all the way from Los Angeles County to San Francisco, around an 8 to 10 hour trip. It's probably one of the best road trips I've ever had and something that you should do before you die. 

If you're planning to go on this long drive, make sure you have company (an extra driver helps a lot), bring lots of water and sandwiches (it's nice to just stop the car and have a small picnic on the shore), and load up on sunscreen. And, of course, bring a really good camera. Mine was already pretty good but I feel that it's still not enough. 

Here's a lone windsurfer.

Wild waves. 

Driving to the famous Big Sur bridge. 


The place where the mountains meet the sea.


Lovely.
