Day 2 Santa Cruz to San Luis Obispo.

Day 2 started a little later than originally anticipated, because our extended hang out session in the City. We first headed to Santa Cruz, it was a great opportunity to show Jason some of the stereotypical California lifestyle. As expected there were plenty of people out surfing and generally having a good time. It was a great opportunity to warm up my new Canon T1i .

This shot was taken as a rapid succession shot. The waves were big today.

Then we went on to Pebble Beach, a very famous golf course, which is well known for it's lone Cypress tree. It was really cool to see it in day light, as last time I came through here, the sun was setting.  It was a very impressive resort, with a beautiful beach side 18th hole. How anyone gets a good golf score here is beyond me. Personally I wouldn't want to deprive my eyes of the scenery by focusing on golf.

Here's the well know "Lone Cypress Tree", if you look closely it's being held up by wires..

Next we headed off to a quint little town affectionately names Carmel-by-the-Sea. According to Wikipedia Clint Eastwood was Mayor or a brief period in the 80's. It's a very picturesque place, just look at the architecture.

Very beautiful architecture.

From there we drove up to San Luis Obispo also known as SLO. We didn't do much there, because we were so tired and hungry from the drive. When we got there, it was after 7pm on a holiday in a small town, so nothing was open. Unfortunately this means we missed out on the whole American Thanksgiving Turkey feast. In a move typically only seen in television, we opted for Chinese food as an alternative. Can't say it was the best food I've had, but at least is was better than waiting 12 hours for something to open up.  (No pictures unfortunately).
