Sur-prisingly lovely weather

We woke up this morning in our cabin in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park - in easy reach of many trails. We took a steep one up to see Pfeiffer Falls and a view of the valley.  Wonderful to be walking in shirtsleeves - in February!

We spent the rest of the day exploring the Big Sur area, partly by car, partly following footpaths.  It is a spectacular stretch of coastline.  I was hopeful of seeing migrating grey whales from the clifftops (supposedly it's a good time of year for this), but I don't think we did.  Maybe they were there, but travelling submarine-style.

Tonight we are in the toney town of Carmel.  It has a beautiful beach and lots of elegant shopping. We are slumming it on the outskirts in a motel (cheap, but quite nice actually, although the wifi is dodgy).  I hope you get to read this...Sorry still can't post photos.
