A Few Reasons I want to revisit California


There are so many reasons I want to go but these will do for starters...


Cool evenings, even in the middle of July and wonderful surroundings...

The Santa Monica Pier...

Santa Catalina Island...


Sunday Brunch on the Queen Mary... Yummmmm!!!!!



The Rock at Morro Bay is amazing... just a huge rock sitting across the bay and it is deceptively tall...


The Farmer's Market in Santa Barbara... wonderful produce and cheese


The Hearst Castle

Now that's what I call a swimming pool...


Beautiful Carmel by the Sea...
 
Monterey's Lover's Point and Fisherman's Wharf...
 

How can I say enough about the Bay area... Chinatown... Palace of the Arts... Alcatraz
The wine country of Napa Valley...
The tasting was worth the ride... very good

The unbelievable beauty of the vegetation around the Fort Bragg area... you have to see it for  yourself... breathtaking

And those giant Redwoods are something to behold... I'm the little man at the bottom of this giant...
All this and we only spent about two weeks there... we didn't get down to San Diego or to Yosemite... then there's still Oregon and Washington state on the way to Vancouver. Gotta go back...
