Big Sur, California

California, where River meets the mighty Pacific.

You only see this on the Pacific Coast Highway.

Naphente Restaurant. Not a bad lunchtime view.

The Big Sur River, looking more like the Small Mam River

Early morning picnic table meditation. 

The giant Maple leaves of Big Sur.

Kira wanted to bring a piece of driftwood back to NJ.  Unfortunatley this one was larger than the Yaris.

This brings the term "shooting the pier" to a whole new level.

Goonies Never Say Die!

                              

It takes an Irishman to sniff out a patch of clover on the West Coast.

Banana Slug!
