Up & away - thru FOG again

After a restless night (surprise surprise) we woke up to - you guessed it - white everywhere. Couldn't even see up to the restuarant. We had decided not to leave early if it was foggy, & breakfast wasn't served till 8am, so we took it easy & headed out about 10am. Ken's foot is very bruised & very sore, but we were able to rub, bandage it and then he got his boots on OK. Not too much pain, the boot definitely helps.

Conditions were pretty much the same as yesterday, temp was 58F & cool but bearable (just). Riding along we were occasionally able to see the coast & just prior to San Simeon we saw several goups of Elephant Seals. They were spread out on the sand, a couple were in the water, & looked very big.

Being very close to sea level, it once registered 42 feet above, the cold remained. As we went inland the temp rose noticeably, it got up to 94F- lovely.

Back on the coast road again, going through Cambria the temp dropped, and the fog rolled in. Despite that everynow & then it cleared & we had a good view of the countryside. It appears to be predominately a wine growing area.

We followed the freeway through Santa Rosa, Santa Lucia and then came into Santa Barbara to find a motel. Ken is starting to feel his foot again, so don't want to push our luck. Will rest up, relax & head off to LA tomorrow. That's the resturant up there

and our room down there (somewhere!)
