I am on a lonely road...

...and I am traveling, traveling, traveling.

This week I was on my own again driving up and down the California coast. The drive from San Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara is absolutely one of my favorite short road trips ever. The hills to the East are rolling and kind of wrinkled, bright green and dotted with farms. There are cows and horses, vineyards and almond trees.



To the West is the pacific ocean. It shines bright azure blue in the midmorning sunshine. The beaches are flanked with palm tress of various sorts. The coast is rocky with high cliffs and little private beach coves.



Driving down the 101 listening to Joni Mitchell, now this is a place I could see myself spending a lot of time.
