DAY2

Waking up on top of the mountain was magical. We had our morning coffee outside. Some of us were writing in our journals, some of us were meditating. The crisp cold air and smokey smell of the wood felt nice.

On the way down from the top of the mountain we pulled over to see the ocean. It was so beautiful and powerful.

Brunch at Deetjens. LOVED the food and our waitress was super sweet.

Remember my recent post that I said I wanted to be in the woods? It happened here. :)
And then we stopped by Henry Miller Library and a souvenir store for a little shopping.

We went back to our rental house and had a little reading, resting and wine time on the deck. It was one of my favorite moments in Big Sur. So peaceful and relaxing...

After that, I took portraits of each person to remember our time there. (will post about it soon)

HBT made this amazing veggie pasta for Joanna's birthday dinner. It was so good, we ate the whole thing.

We went to the beach in the morning and I loved it so much. If we had more time, I wanted to stay there all day.

After our last meal at Deetjens, we drove back home. Good bye, Big Sur! We will be back in Jan 2012.

I'm going there for my birthday this month and these got me even more pumped! SO gorgeous. Look like you had a wonderful relaxing time.

Oh! I have driven through this part of California before and its so beautiful. We only stopped briefly but I really wanted to stop forever. So beautiful! I went at a totally different time of year and its so nice to see photos from a different season. Love it. Such a lovely part of the world!

Did you stop at the Whale Watched cafe on top of the cliffs? It is amazing.
