I took this shot when we made a stop while driving down the PCH. I highly recommend the drive between Monterey and San Luis Obispo to anyone who visits the area.

We did that drive just back in August of this year. It is a beautiful drive for sure. However, to those that haven't ever made that drive the stretch between Monterey and just before Camrbia is VERY curvy and slow going. Not a good stretch if you are prone to car sickness.

BTW your photo is beautiful, the colors are lovely!

Thanks! I'm thinking that you should check out Maooose's tip also, it seems that I left out a little detail.

You're welcome! Thanks for the feedback. It's nice to know that I reminded you of what sounds like a lovely vaca.

Thanks for catching my omission! You're right, it would definitely be a surprise for someone who is prone to car sickness.
