Bob's Yellow Bird
 |
We left home at about 11:00AM and got on the
freeway system (ugh) until we got to the town of Los Gatos. There we got off the
freeway and drove to Saratoga where we put the top down and took Highway 9 over
the Santa Cruz Mountains to the city of Santa Cruz.
We found a really neat diner in Santa Cruz called Cruiser's where the theme is classic cars of the fifties. The burgers were all named after cars. I would have had a Ford Thunderbird but it was made with turkey and my burgers have got to be the real thing, beef. |
 |
After that we got on Highway 1 and headed north, stopping at a coastal access point to stretch and take some pictures. |
 |
It's a pretty steep drop down to the beach but
there is a paved footpath.
That big rock almost looks a whale. |
 |
I could stare out at the ocean for hours. A house with the bedroom window overlooking the ocean would be great. I wouldn't want to get up in the morning. |
 |
The sun reflecting off the water made quite a sight. I bet sunset would have been beautiful. |
 |
The co-pilot is at the helm and ready to go. |
 |
One more shot before we get back on the Pacific
Coast Highway.
Can't take a drive in the T-Bird without getting a picture of the car in. |
 |
We continued north on Highway 1 to Route 84 and
took that back over the mountains and all the way home to Livermore.
This is a shot of the Pigeon Point Lighthouse taken on the fly. They have a hostel there, too. The whole trip took us around 8 hours and we enjoyed every minute of it. |
