Tourist Guide

The California coast is always beautiful! Hiked down to the shore here.

Beautiful view
Big Sur is a must when in California. And you absolutely have to catch the sunset there, it's a surreal experience. If you're adventurous, the ultimate coastal drive is southward -- from SF to LA. That way, you'd be driving on the edge.
View of Big Sur coast near south turnaround point at Ragged Point. Pacific Coast Highway is closed from here to north of Bixby Bridge due to four different mud slide, road closure spots. #california #outdoors (April 2017)

From the check-in with Roxy at the front desk all the way through to check out, our experience was fantastic! The rocking chairs on the balcony are always a hit with us. But we love the fireplace in the room and of course, the great view.

It was a lovely place. Our only complaint was being able to hear, loud and clear, the man snoring in the room next door. All night. Thank God he was gone for our second night.
