-pure commercialism after being in pure nature is a bit of a shock to the system.

Oddly I didn't really notice the clouds while we were at the beach, to the point where I was surprised the pictures were so grey.

Once again- there will be detailed posts about this incredible place when I get home, for now thanks for following me along on my journey!

Where we've been so far:

Sightseeing in Arkansas

New Mexico and Arizona, the painted desert and more

The Grand Canyon

Now onward and upward, to Oregon and beyond!

Sort:  

You guys are all so pale! Use sun protection, even with the clouds!
Basically you make me fancy to visit every place you are posting....
oh well, maybe Santa Cruz is skippable :P

Woohoo! You guys made it to the other side! Welcome to the Pacific! I can't believe we're sharing the same ocean for the time being. That's so cool!

I like the contrast between nature and commercialism, it really does put a lot of things in perspective. What's the endgame here? Are you guys going to blitz your way back or are there more purposeful stops?

the Sea looks mesmerizing)

No wonder the trip was sure amazing and to add up the beach images were indeed very beautiful .

It was nice to follow you through the journey of yours !

Beautiful!

Aaaand now I have to put The Lost Boys on...

I'm so glad that you're having wonderful adventures :D

Nice time spent there beautiful place and the waves coming up makes it more refreshing perfect weather to enjoy the day :D

The last photo is very dramatic , and The Lost Boys is my husbands fave film (well one of them ) x

Through your video and your photos, I moved with you to this wonderful trip, the beach was one of the greatest things, good that you can enjoy this exquisite trip.
